UK: Oil and Gas Production Efficiency Hits 80% Three Years ahead of Target

U.S. should be leading in solutions to climate crisis

With the dangers of the epidemic facing us every day, it is easy to forget that what we have done to the Earth’s climate is even more dangerous. We see the results of warming here in the Eagle River Valley and the Roaring Fork Valley, but it is nothing compared with the melting of Siberia and the South Pole area. This is a world-wide crisis and the U.S. should be leading in solutions instead of pretending it will go away.

“This year is the last time we have, if we are not to see a carbon rebound,” said Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency and one of the world’s foremost energy experts. He says, and just about all atmospheric scientists agree, that the world has only six months in which to change the course of the climate crisis and prevent a post-lockdown rebound in greenhouse gas emissions that would overwhelm efforts to stave off climate catastrophe.

Please, encourage all our legislators — town, county, state and national to do everything in their power to get us off fossil fuels and into an alternative fuel economy as quickly as possible. Our great grandchildren will thank you.

Why is the GarCo BOCC is spending millions to help the O&G industry?

Garfield County’s “Oil and Gas Mitigation Fund” should be renamed the “Oil and Gas Defense Fund” as the monies are being used to protect the industry from citizens who do not want drilling and fracking next to their homes like in Battlement Mesa. In total, the county commissioners are spending over $1.5 million defending the O&G industry in their fight against stronger state regulatory controls.

The commissioners have also spent an additional $1.5 million of our severance tax dollars fighting the sage grouse protections that were preventing public lands to be leased for oil and gas development in Western Colorado.

I believe this is a complete waste of county dollars that could be going to mitigate the economic impacts from coronavirus, supporting our human service agencies during the food and housing crisis, and helping local municipalities supplement their sagging tax collections.

The millions of dollars going to O&G lawyers and lobbyists are against our interests — surely Garfield County residents support stronger air quality rules and protections for wildlife and our natural environment. And don’t we want to preserve our quality of life by not having to live with multiple 25-well pads in our backyard?

It was also disturbing to hear that Garfield County taxpayers are picking up the tab for all the legal and consultant expenses for the 23 county and municipal partners in Garfield County’s Western & Rural Local Governments Coalition. Why aren’t the other counties and local governments asked to share costs? How many would remain in the coalition if they were not subsidized $65,000 each by Garfield County commissioners?

Should I become your next county commissioner, I will not be irresponsible with our county’s funds by continuing to spend millions of dollars on lawyers and…
