Colorado and our energy
Energy warms and cools our homes, powers our businesses, fuels our transportation, and is a key component of our state’s economy. Colorado is in a unique energy position, as our state provides vast amounts of fossil fuel energy resources to the rest of the country. Our state also has some of the greatest potential for developing a clean energy economy, with some of the best opportunities for successful solar, wind and bio-fuels projects in the nation. Studese show that Colorado could mack more soler energy then most of the country. So the more people with soler panels the greener we are.

Magnetic Motor Trains
Chris B.
Did you know that right now in America, there are trains that use magnets to go places? These trains emit no polution at all and only need electricaty. The trains use a lot of electricity but are fast easy to control and don't use any petroleum products. Most trains use fossil fuels and put off polution, but are used to transport things all over the country. This new train can do the same thing but with no invironmental damage. The only thing holding them back is the cost to build them but when they are built it's easy pickins'.

the bad and the good about oil
Did you know that if you water any plant with oil it dies instantly. In fact, in places where oil is close to the surface nothing can grow. If oil was left forever it would eventually kill all plant life on earth. I know that if you burn it, it puts off carbon dioxide but the real problem is there's not enough trees! I blame loggers.
