Just a matter of time!
DENVER -- Gov. Bill Ritter and his energy office are teaming up with Clean Energy, a gas supplier, to apply for a $10 million federal grant to expand use of compressed natural gas for transportation fuel in Colorado.
The grant would help finance a $27.6 million plan to deploy 68 heavy-duty natural gas vehicles in key industry fleets and build five new compressed natural gas fueling stations in the state.
The governor's office says a vehicle using natural gas cuts carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent and nearly eliminates such harmful pollution as sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide and volatile organic compounds, which contribute to smog.
Colorado has 18 fueling stations that sell natural gas. The state is a major natural gas producer.

beautiful up there...i would have to have a helicopter though....my early morning commutes up highway 13 was sometimes more than I could bare. I would love to live in the beauty of those mountains though.
Just outside of Meeker, there is an Exxon plant on a remote site. was called out to there to do a standby Confined Space Rescue standby job for them. Talking to the hands there and found out that while they were doing the construction they uncovered an Indian Burial site just to the north west of it if i remember my bearings. The tribe who deeded Exxon the land had them fence it off and allowed them to move a bit further to the east.
Just thinking about the locations of these plants being so remote has to speak of the vastness of the find up there.

Connell, Thanks for for the pictures. Since I lived in Golden for 5 years it sure made me miss that part of the country.
