GRANADA, Colo. (AP) Fifteen miles from the Kansas border, Prowers County Road 23½ comes to a dusty end, surrounded by sagebrush and prickly pear cacti and dead junipers. A place this newspaper called, eight decades ago, “as bleak a spot as one can find on the western plains.”
In one of the more shameful moments in American history, the federal government removed 120,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals from their homes on the West Coast between 1942 and 1945 and imprisoned 10,000 over that timespan in far southeast Colorado, at a concentration camp it euphemistically named the Granada Relocation Center.

(Tribune News Service) Fifteen miles from the Kansas border, Prowers County Road 23 1/2 comes to a dusty end, surrounded by sagebrush and prickly pear cacti and dead junipers. A place The Denver Post called, eight decades ago, as bleak a spot as one can find on the western plains. In one of the more shameful moments in American history, the federal government removed 120,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals from their homes on the West Coast between 1942 and 1945 and imprisoned 10,000 over that timespan in far southeast Colorado, at a concentration camp it euphemistically named the Granada Relocation Center.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver passed legislation out of the House Natural Resources Committee, 24-19, to capture methane gas emissions from oil and gas drilling sites on public lands.
DeGette maintains methane is a potent ingredient of climate change, and oil and gas production has been one of its main contributors.
Under DeGette s legislation, drillers operating on public lands would have to capture 99% of their emissions by 2026, with equipment and repair standards.
“If we’re going to be serious about staving off the worst effects of this climate change, we’re going to have to get serious about cutting the amount of methane that’s being released into the atmosphere,” DeGette said during the hearing.
