    There's a sketchy link in the article to the study it cites, and uMatrix blocks it for me: the link, with the sketchiness removed, is this draft PDF in a google drive folder.

    At first glance, the decline being touted here seems minimal (126 MMTCO2e projected in 2020 vs a peak of 133 in 2010, a 5% decrease), and the projected emissions of 123 MMTCO2e in 2030 seem embarrassing and completely inadequate.

    Am I reading this incorrectly? This doesn't seem to be good news at all.

    Seriously though, good work Colorado. It's almost like passing legislation to force businesses to operate more cleanly works better than just letting them "self-regulate" and hoping they'll do the right thing.
