“Boulder has always been a leader in climate action, and we recognize the urgency of reducing fossil fuel use and moving to a renewable energy economy, while also making dramatic improvements in our air quality. Phasing out fracking in Colorado is a critical part of achieving these goals, which is why I am supporting this important ballot initiative.”

“Our window to protect future generations is open now to act with justice and accountability to address environmental racism and heal our Biosphere.”

“Coloradans care deeply about their water and their environment. While the fracking industry contributes to the ongoing climate challenges and delays our transition to renewable energy sources, it should be noted that the practice introduces unnecessary risk to local groundwater quality and can put small, rural, and marginalized communities at risk of their drinking water contamination.”

“Addressing the climate emergency with bold action is critical for a sustainable and hopeful future.”

“Supporting Colorado’s commitment to a sustainable future, clean air and water, and the protection of vulnerable communities requires decisive action against the threats of fracking.”

“Coloradans have tried for years to stop O&G from polluting our air, water, and land, yet new drilling continues unabated, even in the face of the worsening climate crisis. Fracking is the #1 contributor to the Front Range’s ozone pollution problem, sickening thousands of Coloradans and risking the health of children, the elderly, pregnant women, and anyone who works or plays outdoors.

It’s time we reclaim our right to a healthy and sustainable environment. The climate can’t wait. Nor can we!”

“Fracking for energy is obsolete as renewables flood the electric market. 2030 is a perfect target for Colorado and fits well with the Town of Eagle’s Net Zero 2030 goal.”

“I stand with the many young parents, minority community members, Indigenous tribal members and climate activists who have been testifying and raising awareness that it is time to curtail fossil fuels. Enough is enough and Colorado has plenty of approved gas wells that have never been drilled. Now is the time to take action!”

“We need all hands on deck to address the climate crisis. Now is the time for action.”

“It is time to reduce fossil fuel extraction and make the transition to renewable energy production and storage. It is up to our generation to reverse the existential catastrophe of increasing carbon emissions.”

“Fossil fuels should remain in the ground. We are fully capable of running our economy on clean energy. Its long past time to end the use of methane gas.”
