My condolences to the Bush family. President H.W. Bush had a love for the country that extended far beyond his presidency.
Colorado’s lands,
America is a beautiful, innovative country, but for too long, we have ignored the poisonous pollution leaking into our skies and rivers. It’s past time to act. Jared is committed to the fight for cleaner air, cleaner water, and preservation of our public lands and natural resources. We must reject the false choice between a clean planet and economic prosperity. As Vice Chair of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC), an action-based caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, Jared is working with his colleagues in the Congress and the Administration to advance policies that recognize this important priority. Climate Change We should put science before special interests as we shape public policy. Together, we must change our attitudes and behavior to slow the dangerous pattern of global climate change. US Climate Change Science Program US Climate Change Technology Program Public LandsColorado’s landscape goes hand in hand with its people and its character, and we are lucky to have so many beautiful places set aside as public lands. Colorado’s economy relies on the health of those public lands and draws masses of visitors every year to explore everything from Rocky Mountain National Park to the Indian Peaks Wilderness, from hiking the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness to skiing on our world-class slopes in the White River National Forest. Arapaho National Forest and Roosevelt National Forest Bark Beetle - Frequently Asked Questions Pike and San Isabel National Forest and Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands (PSICC)Energy Development Our nation has a serious addiction to fossil fuels. We must reduce our reliance on foreign sources of oil, but it is incorrect to assume that the solution is with oil and gas production here at home, especially near our homes and schools or in pristine, critical habitat like Thompson Divide, or anywhere oil shale production is planned. For years now, our country has fallen victim to a shortsighted energy policy that feeds our addiction and fattens the pockets of energy company executives the world over. It is now time to think about energy in a holistic, sustainable and long-term way. By encouraging long-term investments in renewable, clean energy, we can create millions of jobs, and we can make a rapid change for the better.
