Colorado Springs city council must be bought and paid for because they are going to shut down our coal plant, Drake Coal Plant and go to natural gas and green energy. We have always had excellent utilities through coal and our wonderful coal plants that have always been very dependable but now they want us to be like Texas. We have below freezing temps all winter and many cold snaps at 17 below. They want us to use this crappy green turbine crap and solar?
Our neighbors bought into the hype to spend 30 grand to put on solar panels on their roof to send energy back to the utility company. They don't even see a break even for 20 years and they are in the 70’s. They tried to get us to do the same. I just laughed. Solar is only good when you have sun and a way to store it. Storing it is the game changer so they convince elderly to put them on and send the energy to utilities and get a discount but it takes 20 years for it to pay off.

We Colorado citizens need to fight this tooth and nail, Polstroker gots to go!
30 grand?! You can build your own for a couple hundred bucks.
