I bet that rail system made some politicians and their friends extremely rich.
A Minneapolis-based monopoly - Excel - recently got permission for a massive $2.5 billion fuel-switching scam to move its Colorado customers away from baseload, reliable hydrocarbons in favor of intermittent, ugly wind mills.
Kickbacks to Gov. Hickenlooper, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission , and the other politicians who approved of the scam ?
