SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Times "Coal mine is key to utility's 'green' goals"

Must be all those Koch campaign donations through Oxbow to environmental activist and 'Fracking is inherently safe' Senator Mark Udall (D-Colorado) that are prompting his brother to support Clean Coal Energy and Methane Capture...

According to Scott Condon, the "unlikely source of a coal mine near Somerset" has his beloved Senator stepping back from his campaign donations scandal with Jon Corzine and taking a second look at what benies the Republicans bring to the table that he can get talked up through Randy Udall.

'That's two scandalous campaign donors for Senator Mark Udall (D-Colorado)', Mr. Condon. 

Who cares?  Is the message Scott Condon needs to hear from the folks today.  Conservatives are for "all of the above" when it comes to energy sources.  "All of the above" includes environmentally conscious.

'EcoTerror-pen' journalists are just so stuck in the past trying to wordsmith disinformation they can't see that undeniable fact.

Congratulations and a special thank you to Bill Koch.

For once again bringing a win-win to the energy (and political) table. 

Nice job, Holy Cross!

Scott Condon:
"Producing power from methane offsets a substantially greater amount of greenhouse gases than production of the same amount of power from wind or solar.

“Holy Cross' methane project, with a capital cost of $5 million, will offer as much climate benefit as $500 million worth of solar,” Udall said. “In other words, it will displace nearly as much carbon as all the solar we have installed statewide to date.”

Worley said Holy Cross officials saw tremendous climate benefits from the project.

“It clearly seemed to us to be a good thing,” he said......

......Holy Cross has signed a second contract recently to fatten its portfolio of renewable energy. It has a deal to buy power produced by a biomass plant proposed in Gypsum by Eagle Valley Clean Energy LLC. The 10 megawatt plant would burn dead trees, construction material and other wood supplies to boil water and produce steam, which spins turbines that produce electricity.

The plant would create a good use for the beetle-kill trees prevalent in the Interstate 70 corridor, Worley said. It would also create up to 40 jobs at the plant while producing reliable, renewable energy, he said. The biomass plant could run 90-some percent of the time and wouldn't be subject to weather conditions, like wind and solar farms...." (Read more?  Click title)
