What is the energy future of the San Luis Valley?(4)
Two key decisions lay before our federal and county elected officials that could determine the energy future of Saguache County, the San Luis Valley and Colorado. We urge people throughout the San Luis Valley and Colorado to let the BLM and Saguache BOCC know which vision of our energy future you would like to see come to bear.
A Gold Rush of Subsidies in the Search for Clean Energy(1)
Here at Citizen HQ we wrestle with providing local content since we have a minimum budget. The temptation is to post half the crap that comes across our desktops. From the far east to high finance, there is plenty of news that is easily replicable with a simple copy and paste. We have avoided this temptation —even when inebriated, and even when fascinating articles come from The Onion. So, please let us know if we are off track as we start to post regional and international news stories that we believe are relevant to your life in the Ark River Valley. It is a subjective decision about what to post, but hopefully we have a sense of what interests you. As always, if you have something to say, let us know. This is your tool. Thanks —Cit Team
