May makes the case for oil shale, other energy resources
DENVER — House Minority Leader Mike May, R-Parker, took a moment in his opening day speech to push for oil shale as he encouraged his peers to not abandon a “stable energy economy” in favor of a “new energy economy.”
“Colorado has real potential to lead in the field of renewable energy,” May said. “However, we are also incredibly well positioned to lead in other energy fields: oil and natural gas, clean coal, hydropower, and even potentially nuclear power and oil shale.”
A series of May’s colleagues, including Rep. Laura Bradford, R-Collbran, have announced they plan to push legislation this year to encourage oil shale development.
