Rural Colorado Renewable Energy Coalition

What do large-scale renewable energy projects mean for rural communities?

>  Large scale solar and wind generation may produce energy at a lower cost

>  Large scale energy storage creates more excellent power reliability for customers

>  Farmers and ranchers benefit economically from leasing portions of their property to
    produce wind and solar energy

>  Most rural Coloradans support solar and wind energy
