Heads up, CO friends: Coloradans for Energy Access is actually the gas industry + real estate dudes trying to stop the renewable energy transition or what they call—wait for it—“forced electrification.” CEA is a fossil fuel wolf in grassroots clothing. desmog.com/2022/02/10/gas…
“Xcel Energy, a Minnesota-based electric and gas utility, is among the ranks of Coloradans for Energy Access. The investor-owned utility has assets across eight Midwestern and Western states, with a particularly large presence in Colorado.”
CO does not have laws prohibiting gas hook ups in new buildings, which is what we are fighting for in NYS but the CO Public Utilities Commission is considering new rules “that would put the cost of a gas hook up onto the homeowner or business.”
Currently, those costs are split between the property owner and the utility. And that effectively operates as “a subsidy from all the other existing ratepayers to expand the gas distribution network” which allows the gas industry to keep expanding and keep #fracking.
“The policy direction is trending towards electrification in Colorado. This is what the front group Coloradans for Energy Access [AKA gas, utilities, real estate overlords] is fighting.”
So your job, Coloradans who hate fracking, is to expose these fraudsters and defeat them.

LOL I see fellow #adoptees who don’t live anywhere near Colorado—and who follow me for other reasons—liking this thread, and I’m gonna say it’s bc we all are predisposed by our own lived experience to loathe secrecy, deception, and mythological industry propaganda. @PulverSanjay
