The project site for GLADE Geothermal, the location of one of the deepest wells ever dug in Colorado, is seen in Weld County, Colo., on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026.

Colorado’s latest wildlife debate centers on fur trapping, where unlike big game hunting, trappers don’t have to report how many animals they take.
