A couple questions: (1) Do the HOAs support the initiative?; (2) How would the Shea Homes property be acquired? I'm looking forward to the business plan presentation on 4/15.

It could be interesting to hear about the whole project. Your project is amazing, I wish other cities would follow. It could be interesting to hear about the whole project.

Aside from the obvious transportation issue in Highlands Ranch, the fact that most people live in vastly over-sized McMansions greatly impacts energy usage. I'm sure you're aware of of peak oil, but also consider the probability that natural gas will peak in the next decade or two and the downside will be much more of a cliff than a slope. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend watching "The End of Suburbia" and "What a Way To Go". Will give you some more to think about. Great work! It’s great to see your “energy” on this!

They're currently researching different energy sources and they've already read the Denver Post article about this project. They'd love more information.

However, I didn't take the opportunity to ask you an important question of mine. I bought a SUV last fall that will use E85 fuel and I live in Highlands Ranch. Can you tell me if an E85 pump exists or when an E85 pump will show up in Highlands Ranch?

I'm so glad you are working towards making Highlands Ranch an off grid city. Awareness of energy issues is not as high as it should be in Highlands Ranch but I'm sure when people realize they will want to live in an energy independent Highlands Ranch. As a member of the Colorado Renewable Energy Society I'm very interested in these issues. Is it possible to see your full report? Keep up the good work Matthew Hall Highlands Ranch This is fantastic work. I’m so glad you are working towards making Highlands Ranch an off grid city.
