Colorado Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee rejects oil and gas drilling phase-out bill (SB-159) due to climate change concerns.
The Colorado Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee has rejected a bill (SB-159) that aimed to phase out oil and gas drilling by 2030 due to concerns it was not the right approach to combat climate change. The bill faced opposition from the oil and gas industry, other business interests, and failed to gain support from influential conservation groups. The governor is likely to veto the bill.
