Colorado lawmakers ask Congress to limit energy bill
COLORADO - Colorado state lawmakers are asking the U.S. Senate to limit funding for coal and nuclear energy as Congress moves to pass an energy bill.

They say the House version contains key protections and safeguards along with strong criteria to ensure that technology diversity is maintained.
