Nov. 29—Gov. Jared Polis went nuke on national TV. He should keep it up to help Colorado achieve its aggressive emission-reduction goals.

The issue arose during the governor's recent appearance on the HBO political talk show "Real Time with Bill Maher," during a discussion about renewable energy and the governor's goals for emission reductions.

By transitioning the state's power grid to renewable power sources, Polis hopes for an emissions reduction of 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2040. The latter is not possible, but Polis will move the needle by pursuing it.
