However, the future growth of wind and solar is uncertain.

Jared Polis for its unusual plan to deliver electricity here in Colorado. The company would use giant batteries on trains to haul renewable energy from solar and wind farms – to the cities and towns that need it. We hear more from the entrepreneurs behind the company Sun Train, on today’s In The NoCo.

It has faced strong opposition, especially from descendants of Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated during World War II.
