The so called green energy movement is a scam being sold by modern day medicine showmen who peddle their end-all, fix-all, cure-all to what ails us.
These people convince the uninformed that wind and solar energy are green and the way to a cleaner future. Solar panel manufacturing is toxic, they are made cheaply in china and we get to see the smog from Beijing on our mountain ranges.
Wind power would not work well on a large scale in this area for the winds are too high. Windmills shut down to protect themselves in high wind events, 55 mph and above. We all know that happens here. So when you have 80 to 90 percent load loss on a day like that, where do you get your power from?
How do you pay for large substation transformer maintenance or replacements?
How do you pay to maintain your lines? How do you pay for maintenance of windmills and solar panels?
Let’s look at these issues for EEA members. If EEA, DMEA, LPEA, etc. left the 32 million rate-payer umbrella of Tri-State, we the rate payer would be alone to pay all of these costs and more.
EEA and all the other members in the coop do not “buy” power from Tri-State, They own Tri-State!
Research it and these people before the medicine show moves on to the next area. The money does not go to the Front Range. It goes to the 43 member companies.
