Colorado households could miss out on up to $14k in home energy rebates when the state's program ends August 1. The deadline comes amid policy changes from the Trump administration and DOE that have disrupted home energy rebate programs. Learn more: swenergy.org/colorado-home-rebates-end-august-1st
Colorado's new Housing Needs Assessments point to the same conclusion: we're not building the housing people actually need. More attainable homes, more housing choices, and smarter land use are essential to improving affordability and reducing long commutes. www.swenergy.org/what-housing...

#EarthDay reminder: the cleanest energy is the energy we don’t use. 🌎✨ SWEEP is working across the Southwest to lower costs, clean the air, and build a more sustainable future — together. 💚

States are struggling to meet their clean energy goals. Data centers are to blame
Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels.
