Ritter also attempts to avert catastrophic fire season

If you want to run Colorado in the age of global warming, you better have a plan to deal with wildfires. And it better be more comprehensive than, "Quit driving Hummers."

Fortunately, today Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill Ritter released "Protecting Colorado from Wildfires." The plan gives broad outlines of the different avenues Ritter will pursue as governor to protect lives and property. Ritter joined Democratic Senator Ken Salazar in criticizing the federal government for ignoring the critical situation across the western United States. But he also mentioned:

"Wildfires are a natural part of the environment here in the West," said Ritter, who was endorsed by the Colorado Professional Firefighters Association earlier this year. "But we can and must do more to protect ourselves."

On a completely different note, did you know Ritter has a MySpace page?
