Please personalize and send your message now asking Governor Polis to veto HB25-1040, and share this link widely.

We also encourage you to call Gov. Polis’ office at (303) 866-2471, and ask him to veto the bill. Sample script:

“Governor Polis, please veto HB25-1040. Nuclear power should not be giving “clean energy” status in Colorado. Nuclear reactors use and produce hazardous radioactive materials that can and do contaminate our air, water, and land, threatening human health for decades to come. Labeling nuclear power as “clean energy” would divert resources from safe, renewable climate solutions like wind and solar. Uranium mining and transport, potential reactor meltdowns, and the radioactive waste produced by nuclear power can cause cancer and other serious health conditions. The high cost of nuclear power also puts ratepayers and taxpayers at unacceptable financial risk. Please veto HB25-1040.”
