Re: ?Romney drills home plans to step up oil, gas efforts,? May 10 news story.
As reported by The Post, Mitt Romney is critical of President Obama?s energy policy because there is not enough drilling for oil and gas and too much focus on wind and solar. Broomfield County Republican leader Erich Feigel is reported to have said, ?Stop this nonsense with windmills and solar power. It doesn?t work.?
This message is tone deaf to what is happening in Colorado. We are drilling everywhere for oil and gas here. We are well on our way toward depending on 2,000 megawatts of wind capacity and hundreds of megawatts of solar. These technologies work. Indeed, in Colorado we are developing a balanced energy portfolio, in which natural gas is used to supplant old and dirty coal power plants and back up increasing reliance on intermittent renewable resources. What?s not to like about this?
If Romney and Feigel were hoping to create a wedge issue out of energy policy to divide Coloradans in this election year, it will not work.

If you're like me, the worst part about going to a baseball game -- other than watching your team lose -- is having to deal with lines at the concession stands. You inevitably end up missing at least half an inning wandering throughout the ballpark trying to find the stand you want. And once you do, you inevitably find yourself behind the one person who somehow doesn't know whether he wants a hot dog or popcorn, and has waited until he gets to the very front of the line before beginning to contemplate this oh-so-important decision. Anyway, no more of that -- at least for this week, if you happen to be in San Francisco and plan to attend one of the many games that the homefield Giants will play against the Colorado Rockies, the St. Louis Cardinals, or the Oakland A's. Starting Monday, May 14 and extending through Sunday, "Uber for odd jobs" startup Exec will have some of its people in the stands of AT&T Park, ready and waiting to pick up and deliver food goods for fans too lazy or too enthralled with the game to do it themselves. All those users have to do is open up the Exec app, tell it what they want and where they're sitting, and an exec assistant will be dispatched to fetch that food for them.
