Back in April, a commercial flight carrying 159 people had a major scare as it took off from Denver International Airport: The United Airlines flight struck an animal, which crippled one of the plane’s engines and forced the crew to make an emergency landing. As it turns out, the threat to aircraft from birds, rabbits and other animals is something DIA officials work hard to manage.

DENVER — The United States entered Israel’s war against Iran over the weekend after President Donald Trump ordered air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites.

A deadline looms for a new Colorado River plan. What happens if there isn’t one?

3 days ago | kunc.org | Alex Hager

The clock is ticking on the Colorado River. The seven states that use its water are nearing a 2026 deadline to come up with new rules for sharing its shrinking supplies. After more than a year of deadlock, there are rumblings of a new plan, but it’s far from final. So what happens if the states can’t agree before that deadline? There’s no roadmap for exactly what would happen next, but policy experts and former officials can give us some ideas.
Western governors say they should have control over where nuclear waste is stored

3 days ago | kunc.org | Scott Franz

As some communities in far northwest Colorado discuss hosting a temporary nuclear waste storage facility, western leaders are reaffirming they want a say. Highly radioactive waste, a by-product of electricity generation, has been piling up at nuclear power plants around the country in recent years, and the federal government has been searching for a temporary location to put it. In 2010, plans for a permanent repository at Yucca Mountain in Nevada fell through.
The number of satellites circling the Earth is increasing. A unique summit at CU looks at why that might be a problem

3 days ago | kunc.org | Ariel Lavery |Brad Turner

The vast space around earth is getting a little crowded. There are nearly 10,000 satellites in Earth’s low orbit, the space just outside our planet’s atmosphere. And space companies plan to launch tens of thousands more in coming years. That could led to problems like interruptions to communications from satellites that monitor the weather. Or we could see satellites crashing into one another. So how do we make rules to prevent those kinds of accidents? And how much regulation of space is too much?
A ‘groundbreaking’ law boosted voter turnout in Colorado’s jails. Here’s why it made a difference

4 days ago | kunc.org | Erin O'Toole |Brad Turner

Last year, Colorado lawmakers passed an unusual law. It directed every county in the state to set up in-person voting for incarcerated people in jails, many of whom are awaiting trial and haven’t been convicted of a crime. The new law is the first of its kind in the nation. It's an effort to support voting rights for a population that is often considered out of sight, out of mind. Alex Burness writes for Bolts, a publication that covers issues of criminal justice and elections.

On a bright spring day, Tamara Pogue walked through an empty lot in Dillon, Colo. Snow still draped the peaks behind the mountain town. “It's got some cement pads, it's got some dirt — a lot of dirt,” said Pogue, a Summit County Commissioner. The nondescript lot is owned by the federal government and sits just above town center. “I think when folks think about U.S. Forest Service land, they think about the pristine wilderness that we see across the reservoir,” she said.
Why is Douglas County so worked up about home rule?

5 days ago | kunc.org | Bente Birkeland |Stephanie Wolf

Voters in Douglas County are deciding whether to become a home rule county. With ballots due June 24, the issue is stirring up a lot of strong feelings, amidst competing claims about what it would mean for this fast-growing part of Colorado. County commissioners say home rule status would give Douglas County more legal standing to fight back against Democratic policies coming out of the State Capitol.
‘A glimmer of hope’ emerges from long-stuck Colorado River negotiations

5 days ago | kunc.org | Alex Hager

There’s a break in the clouds that have hovered over Colorado River negotiations for more than a year. State water leaders appear to be coalescing behind a new proposal for sharing the river after talks were stuck in a deadlock for more than a year. The river is used by nearly 40 million people across seven states and Mexico, but it’s shrinking due to climate change. As a result, state leaders need to rein in demand.
