"Xcel
Energy is a utility company with millions of electric customers in the
middle of the country, from Texas to Michigan. In booming Colorado, the
company asked for proposals to construct big power plants using wind
turbines and solar panels.
The
bids have come in so low that the company will be able to build and
operate the new plants for less money than it would have to pay just to
keep running its old, coal-burning power plants."

I'm sorry to have to say that the number of spam comment postings has required that we turn off anonymous comment posting. There's been a massive boom in what seems like computer-automated spam comments with links to web pages that advertise cheap, nasty, bad-for-you products, mostly cigarettes.
From now on, you'll have to be a registered user to comment on this blog.
If you had something you wanted to say, but really didn't want your name attached to it for some good reason, you should email Mick at mwomersley@unity.edu
