President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR.
It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded.

EV charger funding. Tax incentives to buy EVs. Permits for wind energy projects. All gone. But tax incentives to extract more oil and gas were expanded by Trump and GOP-controlled Congress. There has been victory after victory for Hamm and his group, Domestic Energy Producers, in Trump's second term
