If you're looking for climate-related notes on this debate between @Romanoff2020 and @Hickenlooper, this is your thread.
So far, the biggest climate-related news is the oil spill in @Hickenlooper 's hair.
Really no big deal but still waiting for the real climate stuff.

@Romanoff2020 now going after Hick for taking money for fossil fueloney and comparing him to Gardner.
Hick committed to the @SunriseMvmtCO no fossil fuel pledged but then backed out when her realized it banned donations from companies, not just employees.

Hickenlooper seems to acknowledge some of his donations might be from oil and gas employees, but points back to methane regulations he pushed as governor.

If you want to know more about this No Fossil Fuel Pledge issue, I wrote this last year. https://www.cpr.org/2019/10/17/hickenloopers-climate-record-might-be-a-big-problem-in-the-democratic-senate-primary/
Romanoff again calls to cut subsidies for fossil fuel companies.
Speaks to one big point of separation between these candidates. Romanoff wants to focus on reducing fossil fuel production and consumption. Hick is much more focused on consumption.

Hickenlooper defends private interests, including Anadarko, funding projects within his Governor's Office. He says these gifts supported essential services in times of economic crisis.
OK GREEN NEW DEAL TIME
Romanoff supports a employment gaurantee which is really the heart of the original resolution. Hick has not supported a jobs gaurantee.

Romanoff calls out Hickenlooper for skipping candidate forums, which included a number focused on climate change.
On a fracking ban, Hickenlooper says he wants to make "fracking obsolete" by focusing on oil and gas consumption. Then adds he thinks a fracking ban would amount to a taking under state law.
Romanoff responds that if banning fracking is illegal under the state constitution, amend the constitution.
Romanoff just said Corey Gardner is so intent on keeping his job, he's forgotten to do his job.
Pretty sure this comes from The American President. Like the Aaron Sorkin movie.
