Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper issued the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s executive order, which was signed Tuesday, that modifies federal policies relating to climate change:

“Today’s Executive Order by the President pulling back on policies addressing climate change will not deter Colorado’s efforts. Natural gas has become more economical than coal, and Colorado is a national leader on wind and solar energy, which are a boon to our economy, jobs and the environment.
