The Trump administration’s plan to ease regulations on methane emissions isn’t deterring Gov. Jared Polis from his goal of moving Colorado to 100% renewable energy for power production by 2040.

The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday proposed rescinding some requirements for oil and gas companies to monitor methane leaks and plug them, therefore decreasing oversight of the climate-affecting gas.

Polis criticized the move in a statement , reiterating his plan to have Colorado using 100% renewable energy by 2040.

“This misguided action by the Trump administration flies in the face of the comprehensive and strong steps we’ve taken in Colorado to curb methane emissions which needlessly waste valuable resources and threaten our health and our environment,” Polis said. “Once again, the Trump administration is failing to lead, and it’s up to states like Colorado to drive bold solutions that will protect the health of our communities and address climate change.”

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment stated that it will continue to develop strategies for emission reduction.

“The governor and legislature have charged us with reducing methane, other greenhouse gas emissions, and ozone pollution to ensure that all Coloradans have clean air to breathe,” said Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director for the Colorado Department of Public Health.

“We won’t be deterred by another harmful rollback of federal protections. We are moving forward assertively with implementing the new Colorado laws because we have to lead as a state.”
