The question now becomes how much more will those of us who are not power plants and pipelines to the midwest going to have to pay? We already are paying for the pipeline to ship local gas away from Colorado. We are already being forced to compete against large companies.
With the power plants of a commercial enterprise now competeing against citizens we will once again see the battle shifted against us. I suppose we will have to fight city councils to be allowed to use cheap “clean” coal to heat our homes and cook our meals.
It’s more accurately described as
“cheap” “clean” coal, since it’s neither.
And on the natural gas price front, we already “compete” with people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc for the “right” to keep some of our gas here in Colorado. Only one-third of the gas produced in Colorado is sold to entities who will use the gas in Colorado. Since people and industry in the northeast US are willing to pay more for gas, we must compete against that to keep gas here.
Is this snark? sarcasm? rant?
Did Libertad hack into your account?
He’ll pull something else out of his butt.
Gee this was a non-issue as he was using it.
My Fear is Unlike Public Service of Colorado, Xcel will use the use of N.gas in electric plants to raise rates for Gas AND electricity even further.
Bet on it.
cocoa butter, and moisturizer to keep his skin soft and tanned.
means he’s using even higher quality moisturizers these days. Is it working?
but I must object to Joes’ clear misfire on this quote, “Environmentalists were jubilant”. That would be “some environmentalists”, to be more correct. Joe appartently failed to contact many Western slope advocacy groups who were surprised by this Bill, having had no part in its creation. That story will find its’ way here soon enough.
Here is the condensed version. Dirty Denver air. Why? Coal burning. Solution. Burn less coal, more natural gas. Is natural gas cleaner? Only where you burn it, not where you produce it. Where do you produce it? Places other than Denver. Where are the impacts? Places other than Denver. What are the impacts? Well, among others, dirty water and …wait for it…dirty air. Oh, I get it.
Many western slope people want to know a lot more about this bill before they support it. I am one of them.
This is almost comical. Clean air for downwind areas? Sure. But just wait a few years for the extreme price volatility in natural gas that all of us in the energy risk industry know is coming. Then you will hear the same people saying “was coal really that bad?” Not that I like coal — very far from it. But thinking that an across-the-board fuel switch to an unstable commodity is a solution to … well, anything … is so f’ing shortsighted it makes me wonder who is advising the legislature on these issues.
