Around Colorado
- In March 2006, Aspen–based Aspen Skiing Company was Colorado’s first ski company to purchase enough wind power to offset all its electricity use. In August 2006, it joined a U.S. Supreme Court case against the Environmental Protection Agency’s stance against regulating green-house-gas emissions. In August 2006, Broomfield-based Vail Resorts also committed to buying enough wind power to offset the company’s electricity consumption, according to an article in The Daily Camera. The ski and vacation company will be the second-largest corporate purchaser of wind energy in the country, behind Whole Foods Market and the sixth largest overall renewable energy buyer. Vail Resorts is offering free one-day lift tickets for every household that offsets its energy consumption with wind energy credits from Renewable Choice Energy. Also Wolf Creek Ski Area has committed to renewable energy.
