The Colorado Senate unanimously approved a now-bipartisan bill that will implement new protections for waters left vulnerable by a U.S. Supreme Court decision that narrowed the reach of the Clean Water Act.

Democrats in the Colorado Senate on Saturday approved a pair of bills levying a new fee on oil and gas production and tweaking pollution laws, sending the compromise package negotiated by industry and environmental groups to the House.

Aubrey Bertram writes, "The amount of public lands available for oil and gas leasing is just one glaring indication among many that the Department of the Interior has, for far too long, favored private interests over the American public."

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission delayed vote on GTN Express natural gas pipeline following letters from environmentalists and Oregon’s Democrat U.S. senators.

The bill, which now goes to the Senate, would end Oregon’s reputation as one of just two states that bans self-service pumps in most settings.

Colorado leaders signaled their intent to take a more aggressive approach to cutting ozone pollution from the oil and gas industry.
