PUEBLO â How could you, honestly .
This is how Ernie Meyer, owner at Bay s Meat Market in Pueblo described his reaction when the Governor proclaimed March 20 as MeatOut day, encouraging people statewide to go plant-based for the day.
Agriculture is Colorado s second biggest economic sector, and Meyer says the importance of local meat producers was reflected during the pandemic as his business got busier.
âWeâve just come out of a pandemic, proving that we need to have a sustainable food source here locally . Cause there were times when it was tough to get and get shipped into our area to meet the demand when we were in a crisis situation.
Hydrogen-powered future taking shape
Looks great
A world powered by hydrogen may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but industry observers say it’s being written into business plans of energy companies today and citizens could see the results in mere years.
This week the Canadian government released its hydrogen roadmap, joining other major industrial nations, following an initial action list released by the Alberta government in October.
It initially concentrates on pilot projects and eventually support to create network systems to use the clean burning fuel in transportation and power production as a major leg of a climate change strategy.
