Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Justice Marshal said the power to tax is the power to destroy. Besides wanting our money, the government wants to control everything we do. And sometimes it just wants to punish us. For a tyrannical government, it’s truly the perfect mechanism for almost any purpose, none of which are in our interests.
Typical dumbass libtards... stop any attempt to build new facilities (increase supply), then bitch about the cost when demand increases...
I abhor the concept of price controls to control the cost of something like energy. Price controls do not work, and worse, ensure that supplies will be diminished by various mechanisms inherent in the process, which are hostile to the concept of capitalism.
This stupid, leftist, douche bag author, tries vainly to straddle the line of a impartiality, but it is pretty clear in reading the entire article that the person is a leftist with his idiotic “diverse populations“ and open acceptance of the goals of the green agenda, which are utterly stupid with respect to energy.
The real fight that has to be waged here has nothing to do with limiting how much consumers pay for energy. It has everything to do with removing the asinine forces and regulations put in place that are forcing coal fired power plants to shut down and giving taxpayer money to “renewable“ energy, which is far more expensive and less flexible or reliable.
It is all rooted in Leftism, and this person, this author, is one of them.
They want an upgraded grid, but no cost increases. Utility companies are a for profit company. Good luck.
Colorado wanted expensive solar and windmill electricity. They also wanted to give illegal aliens free utilities.
That’s what the people voted for. That’s what they got.
A few years ago they closed down the operational Drake Power Plant, and now they need more money ....
With gov. poleass in charge, xcel has no worries.
And then say hello to higher prices for everything
“Biden admin unveils sweeping new actions increasing costs for oil, gas leasing”
“Under the proposal, the lease bond oil and gas developers are required to pay will be hiked from $10,000 to $150,000 and statewide from $25,000 to $500,000, the DOI said. The DOI said the current bonding requirements, established in 1960, are outdated and don’t cover potential federal costs to reclaim a well if companies don’t meet reclamation requirements”
“The full mission of Colorado’s Public Utilities Commission is it “serves the public interest by effectively regulating utilities and facilities so that the people of Colorado receive safe, reliable, and reasonably priced services consistent with the economic, environmental and social values of our state.””
I believe unicorn farts fulfill those requirements nicely.
