Becker, Winter to Give Xcel a Blank Check ( Colorado )

Coaltiotn of Rate Payers ^ | April 11, 2019

[george76]

How are customers supposed to believe that spending $2.5 billion (of ratepayer's money, not shareholders) is now in our best interest in order to close two well-performing, environmentally superior units when 15 years ago Xcel told us spending $190 million to upgrade them was in our best interest to keep the units running through 2035?

Xcel is a Minneapolis- based monopoly ...

Lefties dream about intermittent, not reliable electrical production that does not work when the wind does not blow ( or blows too hard ) and when the sun is not shining..

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

[luv2ski]

I’d like to be added to your ping list. I live in suburban Denver. Thank you!

[Jane Long]

Unreal ping.

[george76]

Thanks.

You are added.

Oh F****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great, I guess I will have to buy a g-d damned backup generator now...

I wonder what the odds are that this will pass.

Every day it becomes more obvious that we can not coexist with these people.

Coexist with people who want to destroy our security, prosperity and freedom? I think not.

[george76]

DUmmies control all three pieces.

Thus we need to push on some recalls.

Firewood is cheap.

[TigersEye]

I hate all of these people. I don’t believe a word any of them say.

Thankfully I only get nat gas from Xcel.

[ Firewood is cheap. ]

Get a wood gas generator, use the wood gas to power muh electric generator....

If I lived in the country I could probably sell electricity to my neighbors..

[laplata]

That’s a very good idea.

[laplata]

“Firewood is cheap”.

If there are no laws against burning/polluting the air where you live.

What do you do if they ban wood burning?

Y’all are going to be like us here in the Philippines. As an example, last night we had a brownout from 2 am to about 7 am. The at 10:30 am brownout again for 30 minutes. This week we had brownouts almost nightly and several times during the day. Granted, these are diesel generator power stations, but wind and solar are even less reliable. Have fun folks and buy a generator.

I suggest you install a double throw switch so that when you have electric supply issues you can isolate your house from the grid and use the generator without having to run extension cords all over the house.

Double throws isolates the electric co. line at your fuse box so that your generator is not feeding the grid but allows you to use all your lights and outlets as if the grid was on. When power comes back you just turn off your generator and switch back to the grid.

Neither is good!

They're going to run me out of this state.

[laplata]

That sounds like good advice and definitely worth knowing about. Thanks.

[laplata]

“They’re going to run me out of this state”.

Then when they totally ruin Colorado, the same people will follow.

[marajade]

CO will be buying electricity from AZ just like CA did. And then they will sue the electricity company for making a profit from it, again, just like CA did.

No, we can't.
