– Some members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation sit on committees that will be key in the response or fallout to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Sen. John Hickenlooper is on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Sen. Michael Bennet sits on the Select Committee on Intelligence, and Congressman Ken Buck is a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Bennet and Hickenlooper say President Joe Biden is doing the right thing by enacting severe economic sanctions. Buck says the sanctions come too late for Ukraine and he’s worried the conflict could spill into NATO countries. Buck is worried Russian President Vladimir Putin could use energy to split NATO and draw the U.S. into war, “One of the things we can do in Colorado is produce more natural gas and get the excess of natural gas to Western Europe and relieve some of the pressure, some of the leverage that Putin has over Western Europe.”
“I think we’ve got to focus on the transition to renewable energy which we are secure. At the same time, we’ve got to make sure we have gas in our cars while making this great transition to electric vehicles,” Hickenlooper said.
