Four years after an overhaul of Colorado’s oil and gas rules that was meant to cool conflicts over drilling, a draft bill that would phase out new permits for wells is running up the temperature. Fanning the heat even more are ballot proposals that could restrict efforts to boost renewable energy. Gov. Jared Polis said he hoped a law approved in 2019 would end the state’s “oil and gas wars” by tightening regulations and putting protection of public health and the environment front and center. But growing concerns about…

Price decreases at the pump and on used car lots helped push consumer inflation lower in metro Denver the past two months and bring it more in line with the national average last month. The Consumer Price Index for Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, which is measured every two months, dropped 0.1% between November and January, following a 0.34% decline between September and November, according to an update Tuesday from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The month-over-month declines are helping push the annual rate lower. That…

A giant tidal energy “kite” located in the waters off Vestmannsund, Faroe Islands, has delivered its first power to the grid, in a significant step forward for the budding ocean energy industry. Dubbed the Dragon 12, the device swims against the current, which turns its rotor and generates about 1.2MW of clean electricity — enough to power a small town of around 1,000 homes.  The kite was first designed by carmaker Saab and then commercialised in 2007 by Swedish startup Minesto, which has been…
