## Resource

For decades, the federal government has operated wind turbines at the mouth of Eldorado Canyon. But soon, some of them will be coming down, in what could be another bad sign for renewable energy research in the state. Then, hundreds of drivers around Colorado Springs could lose their licenses thanks to cheating by their driving school. And, the Aurora school where you can learn to “break it down.” Email us at coloradotoday@cpr.org . Colorado Today is supported by CPR’s members .
