You know, 'cause Boulder can do it better. And cheaper. Oh, and of course, GREENER! Yeah, right.
(Actually, it'd be fun to see Boulder get their wish and try to build and operate a power utility from scratch, sort of like the dog catching the car it's chasing and then wondering what to do with it.)
This would be a misuse of ‘eminent domain’....................
Boulder will fu...er...Obama this up like everything else they’ve ever tried.
Remember the classic ineptness of the Boulder Keystone...er...Police Dept following the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.
If one takes out the truly talented in that town (NIST, CU’s STEM departments), one is left with an average IQ just slightly below that of Joseph Biden.
Maybe they have figured out how to use pot smoke to run the place? Wait ....What?.... :)
Because electricity is every one’s “right”.
Ayn Rand was a better prognosticator than Nostradamus.
Boulder, 32 square miles surrounded by REALITY!
Thanks for posting this if for no other reason, the entertainment value. The Boulder city council has no idea what is facing them. With the upcoming rate increases, they’ll be hard pressed to keep the utility in the black. AFAIK, they’ll still need PUC approval to raise rates.
They are drooling at the potential income stream without recognizing the normal operating risks and the huge downside from the EPA’s actions.
It’s not often you see folks dropping trou and grabbing ankles on that scale. After it’s all over and done city officials will probably wish they’d been ENRONed instead.
WOW, taking an already improved property! I am dumbfounded by how BRAZEN the City of Boulder is to even consider, to even give voice to this idea. If Boulder wants to get in on the energy game just buy it, but to abuse and corrupt the entire system through condemnation proceedings,...... WOW!
Recently passing through what I believe is around the halfway point of my life, I occasionally will comment with I’m closer to the end than the beginning.
I unfortunately have begun to make the same comment about our country. Examples of this type of thinking and actually following through with action. I believe we are closer to the end of the United States than we are to the founding!
At least something we might recognize as America
wow
Soviet Union is coming back
Boulder is a nut house and they should build a wall around it to contain the inmates at the asylum to keep them away from sane and honest people.
the government too the property of the redskins football name.
why not other property?
this is why corporations are fleeing the usa. (aka inversion)
time to start putting politicians in jail.
Huey Long lives these low information politicians.
(if hey long were alive he should have been wearing jail orange)
