Dr. David Schnare Discusses New Colorado Bill That Validates ATI’s Lawsuit Challenging the Constitutionality of the State’s Renewable Energy Mandate on the Amy Oliver Show (4/4/13)
Dr. David Schnare, Director of ATI’s Environmental Law Center, appeared on The Amy Oliver Show to provide insights into the state’s attempt to “fix” its Renewable Energy Standard mandate with the introduction of Senate Bill 13-252 yesterday. In dropping the bill, members of the Colorado Senate and House admitted that the state’s law imposing a renewable energy standard is unconstitutional. This admission is of national significance and validates the lawsuit brought by the American Tradition Institute on behalf of Colorado ratepayers. In effect, Colorado is telling all states that have similar statutes that they are vulnerable to legal challenge and will have to change their laws to remove preferences for in-state producers.
