With California billionaire Tom Steyer playing a huge role in down-ballot races, the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry says state legislative races are “the most critical thing for this election cycle.”
The San Francisco hedge-fund manager and anti-fossil fuel activist is funding the campaign arm of Conservation Colorado in his quest for control of the Colorado state legislature.
Even with the demise of anti-fracking ballot measures, energy remains a hot issue in Colorado elections this year, thanks to Tom Steyer and the presidential candidates.
If the anti-energy agenda becomes the law of the land in Colorado, the damage to the energy sector will just be the beginning. A new report shows every business and every household will feel the impacts and the entire state economy will struggle.
Steyer has boosted his field spending in Colorado and made personal contributions to Democrats in key state legislative races.
Far-left activists with 350.org are gathering signatures for this year’s anti-fracking measures. Their leader says he wants to “drive a stake through the heart” of the fossil-fuel industry, one of Colorado’s biggest employers.
No matter what happens “state-by-state” and “county-by-county,” a national fracking ban is the real goal, according the Democratic presidential candidate.
Roughly 90 percent of land across Colorado would be walled off, with an even greater impact in the handful of counties where most of the state’s oil and gas production takes place.
According to one of the nation’s top labor leaders, Steyer and the rest of the environmental left simply cannot be trusted.
