The Lava Ridge wind project, which would be near Twin Falls, Idaho, was at the top of the list. Part of why it earned the top spot in their view is because of concerns surrounding impacts to the Minidoka National Historic Site, where 13,000 Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World War II.

However, some campus leaders say their input on the project hasn't been heard. Colorado Sun reporter Michael Booth reports that staff are saying more can be done to solve CU's pollution problems and embrace green technology.

Xcel has gotten more time from state regulators to try and reconcile their plan. But according to Colorado Sun reporter Mark Jaffe, Colorado's Public Utilities Commission is concerned the delay could lead to consumers paying more on their energy bills.
