Episodio 5 - Pagando Su Parte Justa
Antes de que las compañías de petróleo y gas puedan comenzar a perforar, deben depositar dinero en una fianza que se utilizará para pagar la limpieza de pozos abandonados o el incumplimiento de los mandatos estatales. Sin embargo, estos bonos no se acercan a la cantidad que realmente se requiere para la limpieza y les cuesta a los contribuyentes de Colorado millones de dólares al tiempo que permiten una industria explotadora y dañina para el medio ambiente.

Episode 5 - Paying Their Fair Share
Before oil and gas companies can start drilling, they are required to put money into a bond that will be used to pay for cleanup of abandoned wells or for failure to meet state mandates.

Episode 3 - Water Degradation
This episode we're covering the fight to protect Colorado's rivers and streams from pollution. The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission is pushing a degradation rule change that would make it easier to increase pollution in rivers and streams where pollution already exists - this is counter to all the expensive cleanup efforts on urban streams like the South Platte. Visit https://safeandhealthyco.org/eco to find out how you can protect our water at the June 14 Colorado Water Quality Control Commission hearing.

Colorado Senate Bill 200 is important legislation that would make concrete deadlines and laws helping us meet greenhouse pollution reduction targets.
