Thankfully, someone speaking the truth. The fact is there is such an abundant supply of energy here in America that we have enough to power our economy for generations to come. Regulations designed to stop people accessing affordable sources of energy do little to help America getting back on track. The current crop of Washington bureaucrats simply doesn't care about ordinary working people.

The PEOPLE of Colorado voted for more energy to be developed by renewable resources. This was not a Colorado, or federal decision. The PEOPLE wanted this. This was voted on before Obama took office.

our plant is very clean, one of the cleanest i think.

[Ty Winn]

ok i live here in craig and if the plant gets shut down about 80% or more of our towns population loses their jobs. i am only in highschool but it is easily the worst thing that can happen here.

[Mark Rutkowski]

Yes, except for the eyesore this all creates. Then we get to listen to the environmentalists complain that the wind turbines are killing birds. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING is good enough.

Sorry dude, but coal is what built this country, would not have made it here without it. Its called black gold for a reason. could steel mills have produces steel without burning coal, no way. Think about that everytime you see something made of steel.

[Levi Sell]

Ya, but would end up costing them alot more to run and maintain all of those compared to running 3 turbines. And you can't produce 24/7 with wind like you would be able to do with burning coal. So really do the math, why cant the wind energy support themselves they need gov. grants and support to keep them alive because they lose money on this energy source. And why is this country in trouble, debt.

Funny how the guy talks about clean skies with Aluminum Barium and strontium chemtrails looming above head. Its wrecking our soil turning our trees brown Its melting our glaciers, because this is metal,acid and salt. Its not global warming its Nasa and the defense dept and project Bluebeam. They lace the sky with poison and tell us its global warming. Well, its not. Look it up and get wise.

Is this another company back ed by Obama like Solarin, which is bankrupt after taking millions in government tax dollars?

As a former resident of Craig, CO I about busted a gut laughing over the words "intermittent" and "Unreliable" being used in conjunction with wind turbines in Moffat County. I don't seem to recall a time of year when the wind wasn't blowing.
