The Governor’s Energy Office, a cornerstone of former Gov. Bill Ritter’s New Energy Economy, would get a new name, expanded mission and termination date under a bill that Rep. Jon Becker, R-Fort Morgan, filed Wednesday.
The office would be renamed the “Colorado Office of Energy Development,” and its mission expanded to include promotion of all of Colorado’s energy resources — those based on fossil fuels as well as on renewable energy, Becker said in an interview.
It also would get a termination date: July 1, 2018, “unless extended through the sunset review process,” the proposal says.
