2008 Winner:
Governor Bill Ritter, State of Colorado

Bill Ritter won election as Colorado's Governor in 2006, and his promise of a "New Energy Economy" was a major component of his campaign.

His first month in office brought a flurry of new laws & policies in support of the New Energy Economy: doubling the Renewable Energy Standards set by Amendment 37, mapping the energy resources available throughout Colorado, greatly expanding the Governor's Energy Office, taking bold steps to address Climate Change, and much more.

 

CRES salutes Bill Ritter for his foresight and action on the
New Energy Economy, and looks forward to working with him
and his staff over the rest of his term as Colorado's Governor!
