At the end of 2020, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment published its Just Transition Action Plan. Compared to other states, Colorado’s Just Transition plan is one of the most robust and ambitious in the U.S., outlining specifics of ‘where’ and ‘when’ transitions to renewable energies will take place over the coming decades. While this plan is promising, it is still imperfect, and, importantly, it is still in motion, which provides an opportunity to study the ‘transit’ of the state’s Just Transition. Rather than waiting for the outcomes of the transition, this project aimed to engage directly in the process of transition, utilizing both traditional and experimental methods to ask the following questions: transition from and to what?; for who?; and by what means? To begin answering these questions, this project examined three ‘transition projects’ in three Colorado counties: i) the Martin Drake Power Plant’s transition away from coal in El Paso County; ii) the conversion of the Hayden Generation Plant into a renewable energy battery in Routt County; and iii) the construction of the Big Horn Solar Project in Pueblo County. Each of these projects represented a different tact for enacting a ‘just transition;’ however, each of them can either reinforce historical socioecological relations that led to the need for transition or be examples of truly just energy futures. By engaging with stakeholders of each study site, this project aimed to create spaces of deliberation, through community-based research, for ensuring the latter
