Prospects for launching into a powerful clean energy policy regime have considerably
dimmed since the November elections. Nevertheless, the ‘Smart Money’ is still on renewables,
argues former Colorado governor Bill Ritter, because their economic case is simply

his extensive work with legislators, planners, policymakers, and the power industry.
Bill Ritter, Colorado’s Governor from 2007-2011, is founding director of CSU’s Center for
the New Energy Economy which works to facilitate America’s transition to a clean-energy
economy. A recognized thought leader on energy policy he wrote “Powering Forward
- What Everyone Should Know About America's Energy Revolution.”
