Delta-Montrose Electric splits the sheets with Tri-State Generation and Transmission. Will others follow?
Tri-State Generation & Transmission
Coal and the hope of carbon capture
Wyoming continues to hope that coal can be burned without producing emissions, a technology proven at smaller scale but expensive. Others in Colorado and New Mexico also have an interest.
Windy enough in Dust Bowl land
Southeastern Colorado has wind aplenty, almost enough to power the entire state. But that wind is like a farm without a road to market. Why that may change.
Getting to 100% renewable energy
To get to 100% renewables for electrical production won’t be as simple as going to the wind and solar shelf and stocking up. That can get utilities to 50% easily enough, perhaps even 70% or 80%, conceivably even 90%.
