Clean Energy vs Fossil Fuels

Colorado is on pace to meet the carbon pollution goals under the Environmental Clean Power Plan.  Despite President Trumps order eliminating many restrictions on fossil fuel production; Governor Hickenlooper announced Colorado will move forward with clean energy initiatives.  Colorado is the seventh largest energy producing state in the United States.  Our state has tougher rules and regulations than the federal government for finding and fixing leaks from oil and gas wells, tanks and pipelines. Wind and solar energy are about to become unstoppable.  Natural gas and oil production are approaching… Continue Reading

Cheniere Energy Gets First Chance at LNG Export

Cheniere Energy (LNG) and Cheniere Partners (CQP), its midstream subsidiary, are ready to start a new era in the US natural gas industry with the commissioning of the first LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) export cargo from the U.S.  Previously, the US exported LNG only from Alaska.  LNG is a clear, odorless, noncorrosive liquid that is formed when natural gas is cooled to around -260 degrees Fahrenheit.  This shrinks the volume by about 600 times, making the resource easier to store and transport through marine shipments.  Then, liquid is converted back… Continue Reading
