Central Colorado Humanists Sunday Science February 2:


Central Colorado Humanists Sunday Science, Feb. 2, 2025:


“Colorado’s Transition to a Low-carbon Energy Future” is the topic of the Central Colorado Humanists Sunday Science Program for Feb. 2, 2025. Allen Best, chair of the board of Big Pivots, will address the question - Is Colorado truly a shining beacon on the hill in the energy transition?


At Big Pivots, a publication that covers energy and water transitions in Colorado, Best tracks progress towards Colorado’s ambitious goals of 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050. “It’s almost dizzying, trying to keep up with all the work across Colorado to make this difficult but necessary transition,” says Best. Though Colorado’s activity is arguably a model for other states, Best says the hard questions are just now being addressed. The presentation will touch on everything from the prospects of geothermal for both heating and electricity to the discussion around nuclear and why sales of EVs have surged.


Central Colorado Humanists sponsor Sunday Science on the first Sunday of each month. Each presentation is informative and features a science topic that is understandable by both scientists and non-scientists. The doors open at 9:30 a. m. and the talk begins promptly at 10 a. m. Admission is free, and the public is welcome. Please note the change of location to A Church, 419 D Street, Salida, CO, and join us.
