House Bill-1203 Selects EESI for Colorado Energy Profile Kevin Doran  On May 23, 2007, Governor Bill Ritter signed into law House Bill 1203, entitled "Energy Management and Conservation Studies." Introduced by Representative Randy Fischer and Senator Chris Romer, the bill calls on EESI to create a Colorado Energy Profile that will provide "up-to-date and comprehensive statistics, data, and policy-neutral analysis concerning Colorado's current and projected future energy resources."  Commenting on HB-1203 and other related energy bills, Governor Ritter remarked:  "These bills are important building blocks as we continue to establish Colorado as a national leader in renewable energy."  Representing the University of Colorado and EESI at the signing ceremony were Dean David Getches; Assistant Dean Lorenzo Trujillo; EESI Director Dr. Lakshman Guruswamy, EESI Senior Research Fellow Kevin Doran, and EESI Research Associate Katherine Peters.  Decision-makers in Colorado—ranging from ordinary citizens, commuters, farmers, legislators, business people, and public servants—face important questions. Should we promote the development of Colorado's oil shale resources? See HB-1203, Page 2 http://www.colorado.edu/law/eesi/News/001/Page2.htmlshapeimage_7_link_0
