Who doesn’t love the rainbow trout?

That truth, contained in a 2003 publication from the Center of the American West at the University of Colorado, has been evident since 2007, when the Legislature ordered a fresh look at rules governing oil and gas exploration and production in Colorado.
More recently, Coloradans became painfully aware of another truism — one about too many eggs in one basket — as a booming energy economy succumbed to the demons of oversupply, low prices, comparatively high production costs and lack of pipeline capacity. (Read on …)
