The Colorado Renewable
Energy Society (CRES) supports the 2004 ballot initiative “Yes on
37!” The initiative will do two important things:
1. Require the state’s
largest utilities to obtain 10% of their electricity from
renewable energy resources by 2015.
2. Establish a standard
method (net metering) for homeowners and ranchers with small
photovoltaic (PV) systems to connect to the power grid.

The Colorado Renewable
Energy Society has worked with allies of renewable energy for
several years to establish a renewable energy requirement for
Colorado. See CRES’ background materials.

Educational Seminars
In the months leading up to the November 2004 election, CRES is
holding educational seminars about the value of renewable energy
and energy efficiency. These seminars will feature several
well-known leaders for the wind and solar industries in Colorado.
There are three seminars altogether and are titled, “The Cost
Electricity from Wind and Solar Energy.”
