This is Embarrassing
Electric Bill
Is anyone surprised that almost exactly ½ of my electric bill is for things other than electricity? That means every time I get an email from scumbag woke green power advocate Xcel telling me how to reduce my bill I get pissed.This is an example of, instead of taxed to death, we are “fees” to death. Fee or tax, what does it matter? Hits my wallet exactly the same. Speaking of fees:
The announcement follows the December release of a study commissioned by the Colorado Chamber of Commerce that found Colorado is the sixth-most-regulated state and that 45% of its 170,000 rules are redundant or excessive compared to other states.
Has a snowball’s chance in hell passing, IMO.
Renewable Energy Aftermath
The areas strip mined for coat is reclaimed and the idea of covering these windmill parts in the pits before they are covered is sensible. An idea so sensible the federal government takes four years to approve the practice.
P.S. As I travel around these windmills I’ve yet to see an EV service truck.
Wolves
Friends of mine in Routt County raise, train, and sell Akbash guardian dogs. Want to take odds on owners of these dogs being prosecuted when one of their dogs kills a wolf?
Now some feel good group is offering a $100,000 reward for the conviction of anyone killing a wolf.
Secretary of State Jena Griswald (P) Colorado
Speculation is she intends to run for Governor. A recent comment about her from a polling firm says this:SoS Jena Griswold (D) is thought to be interested, and is transparently ambitious, but also a somewhat polarizing progressive figure.”
Adds Colorado Peak Politics:
No two words in polite English conversation describe Griswold better than “transparently ambitious,” yet we would throw in “ruthlessly” just for accuracy.
My guess is she will try for the United States Senate. I expect the incumbent saloon keeper won’t run again. She will lose, as Emperor Polis wants to be our next Senator.
Food Shortages
Pure Blood
One neighbor is militantly anti-vac. She and I seem to be the only ones in the building not afflicted. Lesson here?

No smoke alarms in that building? Did they change the batteries in them?
Well, at least they list all the "other" stuff on the bill. Just passing the costs along to the customer, like they always do....
We had many strip mines where I grew up. Some were used for boating, fishing, and recreation. Others were filled in and reclaimed as open space and parks.
I still can't believe the wolf "reintroduction". Maybe the people who sponsored this travesty can get an extra "fee" (for stupidity) added to their food bills.
Griswold is a grifter. Wonder who's paying her, or maybe she's a True Believer....
NOVAX here, either. SLW took the first couple of shots, but said "NO!" after that.
No Vax? Right on, and I haven't taken a flu shot in years either. And yes, the windmill scam is just that, a scam. Speaking of which, I was shocked to see several hundreds of acres of Bosque County covered in solar panels.
Good work, genius patrol, sorry, crooks. Destroy the countryside to save the countryside.
What irks me the most about wolves is the idea these large Canadian grey wolves were once native to Colorado. The "grey" wolves were more like the wolf found in Arizona and Mexico. Much smaller.
Solar panels irk me. One idea that might have merit is raised panels with crops growing underneath.
That's gonna be expensive to replace those trucks today. And I agree with you and LSP, no shots for me. Re the wolves, SSS still works.
Solar panels should be covering parking lots, and not farmland.
No argument from me.
No shots, and I eat red meat daily.
New Colorado campaign slogan: A wind generator over every garage and a Canadian gray wolf in every pot.
There's a wind farm (you know, where they plow the clouds to grow wind) on Interstate 35 between Wichita and the Oklahoma border and that particular brand of big honkin' fan has had problems. Frequent breakdowns and much leaking of oil all up and down the pylons and blades. Looks like hell. Excuse me. Already looks like hell seeing those giant obstructions sticking up over the prairie and the leaking oil makes them look worse. There's usually a gigantic crane or two set up out there working on one or another of those contraptions and that particular wind farm isn't all that old, either. I'm as much a fan of those boondoggles as I am ruining farmland to put in solar panels and burning food to propel automobiles.
If city people want wind and solar, let them hang the wind generators over their own neighborhoods and put panels on their own roofs and mandate roof panels for big buildings like Costco and skools and open spaces at universities. Power should be generated where the power is used for efficiency in transmission of electrons. Let everyone do their part if Going Green is so necessary for the survival of humans and snail darters.
We can be friends.
Several videos of guys hunting Coyotes with Greyhounds on YouTube now.
Makes me a little uncomfortable because it reminds me of English Fox Hunting. And I wonder how long it will be before some tree hugger forces it to be outlawed.
"Common sense ain't common"?
In some States, common sense is against the law.
GB At a personal level I don't approve of hunting for sport. Predator control, yes. Putting food on the table, yes. That said, what others do is up to them.
Excellent wolf point.
