Colorado Springs New Homes Renewable EnergyAfter some initial uncertainty, Colorado seems to be on its way to becoming "the renewable-energy capital of the world," according to a recent Rocky Mountain News article. A year ago at his inaugural speech, Gov. Ritter said he wanted to be "bolder than any other state when it comes to renewable energy." He committed to making Colorado a national and world leader in renewable energy. Now, thanks to investments, interest, and growth from several global and local companies, Ritter's commitment is becoming reality.

Among the "bigwigs and startups [flocking] to Colorado, betting the state is undergoing a seismic shift in the way it develops energy for the future":

- Abengoa Solar, a Spain-based solar technology company with a branch in Lakewood

- Vestas, a Danish company billing itself "the world's leading supplier of wind power solutions"

- Camco International, a London-based company, "wants to work on local projects to develop aggregate carbon credits"


Not all of the logistics within the growing plans have been determined, however; for instance, the lack of proper local workforce is something companies will need to overcome. But the overall outlook is promising, many pieces are in place, and Colorado appears poised to become a major player in the global renewable-energy enterprise. The whole article is very interesting and exciting, but too lengthy to discuss in detail here, so I encourage you to take a look.

The implications here are obvious and good, especially when projected on the Colorado Springs New Homes area: potential increase in value for homes tapping into renewable energy; increased interest in Colorado as more companies look to tap into our state's resources; and an overall boost to our state's economy.
