==Citizen action against Valmont==
On July 14, 2009, the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission held a hearing to solicit public comment on renewing the plant's permit. More than 200 people turned out to oppose the plant at a rally before the meeting. About 50 people addressed the Commission, asking its members to deny the permit because the plant emits more than 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year.<ref>[http://www.coloradodaily.com/news/2009/jul/14/boulder-valmont-power-plant-air-permit-hearing/"Public packs Valmont power plant hearing,"] ''Colorado Daily,'' July 14, 2009.</ref>
