PUEBLO, Colo. - Black Hills executives heard another earful from its customers during a hearing on its proposed rate increase.

"I'm mad as hell about these rate increases," said Frank Soudek.

"Reasonably priced power. That's what we're asking for," said Lee Gladney.

Black Hills wants to increase utility rates by 4 percent starting next year to make up for the construction cost of a wind farm in Huerfano County.

Those bunnies, rats, and mice are going to breed like Moslems without a natural predator.

I stopped by the Muslim information center at the Western Washington Fair yesterday and they told me that under Sharia Law that bunnies, rats, and mice either become Muslims when they are nursing... or their mothers must chew their heads off.

Gov’t gets a % of the bill. They want hire rates. The cost to produce electricity is around a nickel .5
The power company has pensions to pay so they need your money.

Colorado went DemoCRAP and this wind farm delusion is just one of many the Colorado residents will have to pay for.

Elections have consequences, so suck it up and pay up!

You did it to yourselves.

More recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor are from Pueblo than anywhere else. President Eisenhower suggested that there was something in the water there which promotes valor.

There’s a museum for those heroes, along with larger-than-life bronze statues, at the Convention Center there. Every one of those men still live today, I believe.

President, Pueblo county election returns
Barack Obama (Dem) 55.4% (40,624)
Mitt Romney (GOP) 42.3% (31,023)

Looks like they are getting what they voted for.

That “BIRD KILLING farm in Huerfano County.” is a resource, not a liability. Think of how much “Pre-tenderized”, “ultimate ‘free range’” birds would bring at the high end Yuppie food markets.

“sell the wind farm to someone else” - sorry, but fools with that much money do not exist.

“You don’t seem to understand that birds that pray, like eagles, hawks, condors, and falcons are a menace . . .”

Sorta like Christians that pray, eh?

Now, those eeevil Christians who pray have managed to get birds to pray.

Coming soon, birds with guns!

Followed by - migrating flock of birds bitterly clinging to their guns.
