  Coal at Sunset ENCORE: A Look Ahead (S1 Ep.3)

  Aug 19, 20261h 5mS1

  In our final episode re-release of Coal at Sunset , we look ahead to 2030. There are estimated to be more than a thousand ghost towns in Colorado. Each one represents a failed economic transition. In 2019, Colorado created the first state-level Office of Just Transition in the nation. It was designed to help coal towns like Craig strategize for the future. W ill it be enough to support the residents ? And what other opportunities could be on the horizon for a town moving beyond what has defined it for so long ?

  Coal at Sunset ENCORE: Change is Coming (S1 Ep.2)

  Aug 19, 20261h 5mS1

  In episode 2 of our re-release of Coal at Sunset , we dive into the Colorado legislature 's boldest step yet toward addressing climate change . In 2019, House Bill 1261 committed Colorado to a 50% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction by 2050. The bill signaled the b eginning of the end for coal plants in the state. For some , the bill was seen as an overreach and another example of the glaring rural-urban divide in America today. When big industries fail or move away, b ad things can happen to the small towns that rely on them. Can Craig succeed where others failed?

  Coal at Sunset ENCORE: The Decision and the Cost (S1 Ep.1)

  Aug 19, 20261h 2mS1

  It's been almost five years since our very first season: Coal at Sunset: A Colorado Town in Transition . In 2021 , we went to Craig, Colorado, as it grappled with the forthcoming closure of the coal plant and mine that economically anchor s the town. But in 2026, a new federal intervention requires the plant to remain open for the time being , putting the town in limbo . So, we are re-releasing our original story about a town on the front lines of the energy transition. Over the next three encore episodes from our archive, you'll meet the people on the ground grappling with the move away from coal. In this episode, hear from the CEO at the center of that decision, a coal worker bracing for change, and one local business owner who's already looking for ways to reinvent the town's identity . Along the way, l earn more about the science and economics of coal amidst a rapidly changing renewable energy landscape.

  Gray Territory BONUS: Citizen Lawmaking | Decoding Direct Democracy

  Apr 2, 202642 minS5

  <p >This whole series started with a vote.  </p> <p >That vote not only revealed the ongoing debate about reintroducing the gray wolf to Colorado, but also who gets to make decisions and what the best way to do that is. In this interview with direct democracy expert Dr. John Matsusaka, we break down how this system of government functions more broadly, when it is most effective, and the philosophy behind it. The discussion illuminated that what happened in Colorado in 2020 wasn't just a wildlife story; it was a democracy story too.</p> <p >Learn more about the podcast at institute.dmns.org/

  Gray Territory BONUS: Saint or Sinner | Interview with Wolf Biologist David Mech

  Jan 30, 202629 minS5

  <p>David Mech has been researching wolves since 1958 and has authored hundreds of articles and 13 books on wolf behavior and ecology. From his decades of studying wolves across the globe, including Isle Royale, Minnesota, Canada, Italy, Alaska, Yellowstone, Ellesmere Island, and elsewhere, to modern wolf management and conservation, David has witnessed and helped shape decades of evolving scientific understanding. In our deep dive interview with David, hear some of his key learnings, from the now-debunked "alpha wolf" concept to the nuanced realities of predator-prey dynamics and trophic cascades, along with his views on the complexities of managing wolves in human-dominated landscapes.
