“The climate crisis is time sensitive – winning slowly is the same as losing. Boulder has spent the past 10 years trying to form a municipal utility, a decade that had passed without any actual reduction in emissions. Meanwhile, Xcel became the first large IOU in the country committed to reducing emissions 80% by 2030 and hitting net zero by 2050, across the utility’s entire 8 state service territory. It is past time for Boulder to start working productively with Xcel to join forces in the effort to rapidly reduce emissions at scale.”
