Robert Kennedy Jr. Praises Colo. Renewable Energy

POSTED: 4:42 pm MDT March 12, 2009

Robert Kennedy Jr. is lending some star power to Colorado's efforts to promote renewable energy.

Kennedy joined Gov. Bill Ritter and Democratic Sen. Gail Schwartz at a new energy expo at the state Capitol Thursday.

He said Colorado has shown the best leadership on renewable energy in the country, but he talked mostly about his vision for the country relying more on wind and solar power.

Fans and people promoting their renewable energy ideas quickly formed around him after his speech.

He escaped for a quick ride with Schwartz in a tiny electric car and returned to talk to more people.

Schwartz said she connected with him at a convention for renewable energy executives and invited him to the Capitol.
