We've got a lot of extreme weather in Colorado. But good weather forecasts & alerts can save lives. So let's make sure we're maintaining world-class weather systems/data in the U.S. NOAA is a big part of that. They house a lot of weather services/data -

Coloradans need world-leading reliable weather information to save lives and protect our communities from extreme weather events. We also need this information to plan for our future.

It's not too late to comment on a big energy proposal from Xcel. They are proposing a big expansion fueled by data centers and some new funds. I think the plan is too big & too costly. More here -

My @denverpost LTE on medical debt. Medical debt is not like other forms of consumer debt - it can be unavoidable & full of errors. I'm making the case for CFPB rule that keeps medical debt off credit reports. CO has tackled this on a state level.

Gas lawn equipment is shockingly dirty. Glad to see so many CO businesses promoting the 30% discount on cleaner electric versions made possible by state tax credit. Mowing the lawn shouldn't pollute our air. https://t.co/0UGZGNLvuu
