Developing Renewable Resources

Legislative Incentives to stimulate research and development of renewable energy technologies are part of the total package of economic recovery. Companies that develop renewable energy and employ Colorado citizens in the process will not only improve local employment opportunities, but will also further enhance Colorado's repuation as a center for advanced technology, which will draw yet other businesses here.

Oil & Gas

The oil price increses of recent years have strengthened the demand for domestic oil production, and Colorado's petroleum energy reserves are more valuable than ever before. This asset must be developed wisely in a manner that will improve state revenues while the ecology is protected.

Drilling and oil extraction need not be damaging to the environment and the excise taxes that are levied upon those who profit from Colorado's oil reserves must be fair and equitable. Mineral extraction is an important source of revenue for Colorado and a significant source of state revenue.

Engineering A Brighter Future

As an experienced chemical engineer, Brett Godfrey has intimate familiarity with the science of new alternative energies as well as oil and gas.

He is also a published authority on oil and gas law, and has worked in energy-related fields for the past 30 years.

This unique background gives Brett the skills and judgment needed to help pilot Colorado's new energy economy in a positive and beneficial direction.

Alternative Energy and Oil Independence

Beginning with the reduction of our oil imports through careful and environmentally-conscious development of Colorado's oil reserves, we can not only strengthen our economy but strengthen the nation as well.

The technologies that will liberate us from dependence on foreign oil are being developed, in part, in Colorado but we must push for a more prominent role in the creation of a new energy economy. We will soon be forced to drastically reduce our dependence, not only on foreign oil, but on oil from all sources. We must begin act now.
