Prop 112 Vote Threatens Colorado Energy Industry
Written by Tim Triplett
Voters who go to the polls in Colorado next month will consider Proposition 112, a measure with serious implications for the energy industry in their state, and beyond.
“If this passes, not only will it devastate our economy, but also the economies of surrounding states,” an executive from a steel fabricator in Denver told Steel Market Update, expressing concern about the impact on her company and others that serve the oil and gas sector. Proposition 112 could set a precedent, she noted, and inspire similar initiatives by environmental groups across the country.
