Today, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission voted to approve Xcel Energy’s roughly $110 million investment in new electric vehicle infrastructure and programs. The Commission provided an emphasis on support for programs that benefit lower-income households and communities impacted by transportation pollution, including a rebate for customers who qualify based on income to purchase electric vehicles, to ensure that the benefits of electrification are broadly shared.
Today, Governor Jared Polis and Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera, and more than 600 state, federal, local, county and municipal officials, businesspeople, philanthropists, civic leaders, military officials, entrepreneurs and Coloradans from across the state sent an open letter to President Donald J. Trump urging him to keep U.S. Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
