Here’s how to get another $6,000 off an electric vehicle in Colorado

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:53:56 GMT

Coloradans with old cars soon will be able to exchange them for money toward the purchase of an electric vehicle as part of a broader effort by state leaders to incentivize people to swap gas cars for electric models.The new Vehicle Exchange Colorado program allows low- and moderate-income residents of Colorado to exchange their old cars for up to $6,000 off an electric vehicle, providing another discount that can be combined with other state and federal EV tax credits. The application portal opens Thursday morning.The program is aimed at helping reach officials’ goal of getting 940,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2030 — a number that is more than 10 times the current total of electric vehicles owned in the state.Transportation is one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases in the state, said Ed Piersa, a program manager with the Colorado Energy Office.The program is income restricted to people who might otherwise be shut out from the electric vehicle market, b...

Opinion: The “Colorado Option” left me high and dry without health insurance, again

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:53:56 GMT

A decade ago, the prestigious PolitiFact Lie of the Year went to President Barack Obama’s assurance “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” under the Affordable Care Act. This year, I was not able to keep the plans I liked, not once but twice. Bright Health, Humana, Oscar Health, and Friday Health Plans recently packed up and left the state, leaving about 218,800 of us scrabbling to obtain another health insurance plan on the state exchange.Two years after the General Assembly passed the Colorado Option, House Bill 1232, we have four fewer health insurance options. Coincidence? Hardly. Lawmakers thought they could defy a basic law of economics and get away with it. Government price fixing causes shortages. We don’t need to bust out a supply and demand curve graph or look at pictures of Soviet bread lines to understand the lesson. When the government demands more for less, we get less.Under the diminishing Options law, health insurers in small group and individual market...

Here’s how Colorado-made products end up on prime time TV shows like “Jack Ryan”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:53:56 GMT

In the season four premiere of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” CIA deputy director Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) attends a senate committee hearing to discuss the assassination of a foreign president. The senators ask him to raise his right and pledge to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.On his left hand, Ryan is wearing a large and shiny watch, distinct for showing 24 hours in its face instead of the usual 12.The watch, made by Fort Collins-based Vortic Watch Company, created a buzz among gearheads who scoured the internet in search of details about the accessory. According to R.T. Custer, co-founder and CEO, the company’s website traffic jumped 50% compared to a typical month thanks to the cameo. It got another bump after a placement on “The Price Is Right,” where a Vortic watch was one of the prizes on the wheel.Vortic Watch Company makes 50 of its military edition design each year. One of them landed on the wrist of CIA operative Jack Ryan in season four of “...

The Rocky Mountains’ most beautiful alpine lakes are just a two-hour flight from Denver

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:53:56 GMT

Alberta’s alpine lakes are superior. It’s controversial, I know, but Colorado can’t be the best at everything. And it’s good to get out of the state sometimes, even if you’re staying within the Rocky Mountains.Don’t get me wrong; I’ve seen and admired many of Colorado’s lakes, but may I propose Banff National Park in Canada for your next alpine lake adventure?The trek to the northern section of the Rockies is just a two-hour flight from Denver to Calgary International Airport, followed by a 90-minute drive into the park.From the first sign, you’ll be blown away by the views. The mountains have rock faces at a scale you just don’t see in Colorado. And every lake is a different hue of vibrant blue or green.Plus, who doesn’t love a hike-in-only teahouse? The area has a few of these historic cafes, which were the inspiration for this trip. There is truly nothing like drinking a piping cup of peach apricot white tea on a drizzly August day overlooking Lake Agnes. Add that to your b...

Small town Lyons offers big payoff for visitors

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:53:56 GMT

You have to zoom in pretty close on a map of Colorado before Lyons even shows up. The town, with a population that hovers around 2,000 people, isn’t exactly a tourist hot spot or an epicenter of, well, anything. But we know better.We know that Lyons is worthy of a stop on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park, or as a destination on its own. We know that 97% of the 85 businesses are locally owned (the only ones that aren’t are two gas stations), making it one of the most unique towns in which to browse, eat and drink. We know that its setting at the edge of the Rockies, with its mix of forests, valleys and sandstone cliffs, is absolutely stunning. And we know that come summertime the music is roaring, with major festivals drawing bluegrass-loving crowds.Here are five reasons to spend time in Lyons this summer:The food is some of the best in the stateIt may seem strange that one of the most delicious fine dining restaurants in Colorado resides in such a small town, but hey, we don’...
