DENVER — If there’s one thing that can be agreed upon when it comes to protecting Colorado’s environment, it’s that the state must act to clean its air. But there are widespread ideas on how to do that.
This spring, multiple plans from politicians, environmental activists and state agencies have been announced — all with the goal to bring Colorado into compliance with the federal Clean Air Act by reducing ground-level ozone pollution.
Colorado needs improvement after the Environmental Protection Agency last year declared Denver and the northern Front Range were in “severe non-attainment” of federal ozone standards, leading to higher gas prices and more regulations on industry.
