“Save for the science and engineering departments of CU in Boulder, the rest of the libarts loons in that looser city wouldn’t be able to define a watt, let along generate one.”
+++++++++++++++

Isn't that the truth for most govuhnmen’ bureaucrats, victims and artists?

If Randall Flagg had nuked Boulder in The Stand, would y’all really miss the place?

Neutron Bomb. Kills the people but leaves the infrastructure intact.

Give the workers at the Coal Plant the day off.

Repopulate Boulder with people that have common sense.

"reducing greenhouse gas emissions 7 percent below 1990 levels -- it's time for city officials to play hardball in their negotiations with Xcel Energy."

Oil companies evil, coal companies evil, car companies evil, pharmaceutical companies evil, electric utilities evil, agriculture evil, natural gas evil etc..

These demented enviro-nazi would-be tyrants want the benefits these industries provide without the industries themselves. It's like having a nice bathroom without running water or plumbing. I'm fully convinced these people are insane.

Perhaps EXEL could play power ball with Boulder, by shutting off the electricity?

These people are MORONS...

These fools are driving Mr. and Mrs. Ross all the way out to the Hamptons and they are prepared to get out of the car and start walking when they arrive.

Lies are easy and death is cheap for the left.

If they don’t have bread let them eat cake.
If they don’t want coal let them freeze their ba**s off.
If they don’t want nuclear, let them freeze their a**es off.

Having lived in and around Boulder for most of 35 years one thing I can tell you is that they love their air conditioned malls, restaurants and latte shops. They love their hot tubs, fake fireplaces and 56” (and larger) TV’s.

Boulderites are soft, spoiled brats that could not exist without their comforts and BMW’s.

Oh, stop it.

They have as much right as anyone else to the magic cables that are attached to their houses enabling them to plug their battery powered cars in and charge them up.

The stuff that comes through those magic cables for their energy saving lightbulbs, blenders and plasma televisions is produced by a special breed of genetically bred, well fed gerbils that run for four hours each night in humane conditions.

Or, it might be magic unicorns. I don’t recall. But no matter. Doesn’t really matter where the electricity comes from, as long as we can make sure there is no carbon dioxide polluting the atmosphere from evil, capitalistic, money-grubbing coal fired plants.

“We hate coal! We hate coal! We hate coal! We hate coal!”

Can you imagine what our forefathers would have thought if
they could see this? Even most of our grandparents. This apalling ignorance leaves me speechless. How do we fight such willfull luddite ignorance?

“How do we fight such willfull luddite ignorance?”

Destroy the public school system as it exists today. I’m becoming more and more convinced every day that the mind-boggling insanity in our country is and has been spewing out of the public school indoctrination for the past 25 years. I don’t think there is any hope for our country until we stop indoctrinating each new generation into the liberal craziness.

And if they infalte their tires properly and paint their roofs white they will achieve Kumbayah.

I suggest that they go ahead and start..I’ll be along in a while. I need to check my tires and buy some white paint.

Only if they can do it selectively. My conservative 85 yr old parents would be hit hard.

I agree. It kills me when what? a hundred idiots from a city complain and people here want to punish the entire population.

I live in Massachusetts, so I am used to hearing the calls to punish everyone up here.

Including me.

I imagine it is the same for the residents of San Francisco. More than once, the thought that the land of fruit and nuts would slide into the ocean has failed to produce the appropriate levels of horror in me.

So I am guilty too. I guess I must be hoping all of our politicians are there on vacation when it happens.

So, if Xcel refuses to meet Boulder’s demands in the renegotiation, will Boulder fail to resign the agreement? Where, pray tell, will Boulder get its power from? Are they going to build their own power plant, fueled by wind sunshine and rainbows? For the city in Colorado with the highest per capita of residents with college grads and advance degrees, they are the stupidest folks in the state.
