DENVER POST: After years of attempts to open Colorado up to nuclear energy, a bill before the legislature this year is showing new promise for the effort.
In an annual ritual, Sen. Larry Liston, a Colorado Springs Republican, has regularly introduced legislation that would add nuclear energy to the state’s definition of clean energy sources. Only this year, in a marked break from prior bills, the proposal, House Bill 1040, has drawn bipartisan support — a key hurdle in a building where Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 2-to-1.
