CAR Joins Coloradans for Energy Access
The Colorado Association of REALTORS® announced their participation in the Coloradans for Energy Access, which is a coalition to support the use of affordable, cleaner-burning natural gas in homes and businesses. Colorado is considering prohibiting consumers from using natural gas use and opting for electricity, which is considered environmentally friendly.
CAR CEO Tyrone Adams joins other business leaders in advocating for three main issues: 1) equity by means of lower utility bills. In Colorado, 70 percent of homes use natural gas, saving 40 percent on bills; 2) innovation through the belief that natural and renewable gas technologies are becoming cleaner every day; and 3) easy access for all even during periods of inclement weather or harsh storms. “Quite simply, there is not an affordable substitute for natural gas used for cooking or to heat our homes,” according to a media release from the coalition.
