Colorado’s energy industry has fueled jobs, economic growth, and innovation for generations. But today, radical environmental policies and out-of-touch bureaucrats are jeopardizing this vital sector. At Colorado First Action, we believe in protecting Colorado’s natural resources through responsible energy development that prioritizes freedom, innovation, and prosperity over fear-driven restrictions.

Promote Clean, Responsible Oil & Gas Production

• Defend Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry from regulatory overreach that cripples production.

• Promote partnerships with independent energy companies to responsibly develop drilling opportunities on state owned trust lands.

• Ensure that energy production continues to support local jobs and provides affordable energy for families and businesses by eliminating misguided renewable energy mandates that threaten infrastructure and raise prices.

• Advocate for nuclear energy as a reliable, clean alternative that can complement oil and gas.

• Partner with industry experts to research and promote safe, small-scale nuclear facilities tailored to Colorado’s needs.

Strengthen Colorado’s Role in National Energy Policy

• Align Colorado’s policies with federal efforts to achieve energy independence, working closely with pro-energy leaders in Washington.

• Support trade deals that increase LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports to enrich Colorado.

• Advocate for infrastructure investments that expand Colorado’s ability to transport, store, and refine energy resources.

• Expand partnerships with landmen, consultants, and energy professionals to identify and develop untapped opportunities.

Why It Matters

Energy independence is more than a buzzword—it’s the key to economic security, job creation, and national strength. Colorado’s energy sector has long been a source of pride and prosperity, but the radical Left’s war on oil and gas threatens to dismantle it. Without robust energy policies, Colorado faces rising utility bills, lost jobs, and diminished global competitiveness.

We also know that conservatives have a stake in protecting the environment. Through responsible drilling and clean-energy innovation, we can achieve a balanced approach that sustains both our economy and our natural landscapes.
