Has Denver lost its edge? Colorado’s biggest counties are losing population

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:06 GMT

The entire northern Front Range, especially metro Denver, was a hot spot coming out of the Great Recession, drawing in young workers from all over the country. But that important driver of economic growth last decade looks like it has stalled and in some areas reversed.Colorado may have both welcomed and feared the disproportionate flow of new residents last decade. But this decade it will need to find a way to attract its share from a shrinking pool of new workers, and early on it looks like it is falling behind.“Large urban areas with very large labor markets had power and people were willing to pay up to live there. They have lost that edge a little bit. They are competing more with the suburbs and the exurbs. We expect Denver to be hit hard,” said Adam Ozimek, chief economist with the Economic Innovation Group, which conducted a study of population winners and losers among U.S. counties during the pandemic.Zeroing in even more, EIG compared population trends of the l...

Rocket science: Alaska sky spiral caused by SpaceX fuel dump

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:06 GMT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Northern lights enthusiasts got a surprise mixed in with the green bands of light dancing in the Alaska skies: A light baby blue spiral resembling a galaxy appeared amid the aurora for a few minutes. The cause early Saturday morning was a little more mundane than an alien invasion or the appearance of a portal to the far reaches of the universe. It was simply excess fuel released from a SpaceX rocket that launched from California about three hours earlier.Sometimes rockets have fuel that needs to be jettisoned, said space physicist Don Hampton, a research associate professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.“When they do that at high altitudes, that fuel turns into ice,” he said. “And if it happens to be in the sunlight, when you’re in the darkness on the ground, you can see it as a sort of big cloud, and sometimes it’s swirly.”While not a common sight, Hampton said he’s seen such occurrences about three times.The appearance of the...
