<br />OOOS3~ <br /> <br />-7- <br /> <br />concentration is true regardless of which scenario of future energy production <br /> <br />is considered. The projected 1990 shares of total state energy production for <br /> <br />regions with large portions of production are: <br /> <br />Planning and Management High Medium Low <br /> Re<"Yion Scenario Scenario Scenario <br /> 2 8.0% 6.4% 9.4% <br /> 10 12.0% 14.0% 18.3% <br /> 11 42.7% 42.7% 41. 7% <br /> 12 22.4'" 22.H, I 20.9'!. <br /> <br /> <br />Thus, the early 1980's Colorado energy agenda is ~cn~~~~~ upon northwest <br /> <br />Colorado, where the bulk of combined energy impact will occur. The past and <br /> <br />expected future share of northwest Colorado (planning and management regions <br /> <br />10, 11 and 12) in total energy production is: <br /> <br />1974 <br />1973 <br />1990 - High scenario <br />1990 - Medium scenario <br />1990 - Low scenario <br /> <br />61. 8% <br />72.4% <br />77 .1% <br />79.4%* <br />80.9% * <br /> <br />Clearly other regions will have energy impact also, but usually not of a multi- <br /> <br />resource type and, for the most part, not in regions as historically small in <br /> <br />population and agriculturally oriented as the northwest portion of Colorado. <br /> <br />The focus of the most imm:inent and. the most critical part of the Colorado energy <br /> <br />agenda for the 1980's is in planning and management regions 10, 11 and 12. <br /> <br />* The shares of Planning and Management Regions 10,11 and 12 rise under <br />both the medium and low scenarios because their share of uranium and <br />oil and gas production increases by over 50%. <br />
