Power to the people: Jon Caldara's initiative aimed at Xcel rates survives a 'citizen' challenge.
Public Utilities Commission
“What the Independence Institute seems to be doing is campaigning against Xcel Energy's proposals to close coal plants and replace them with mostly renewable energy by using framing and messaging that purports that the motivation for the Independence Institute is about ratepayers,” says Joe Smyth, a research and communications manager for Energy and Policy Institute. He adds that he's wondered if the Initiative 93 effort is similarly supported by out-of-state coal industry dollars.
“They're related only in that I work for the Independence Institute and the Independence Institute has intervened on behalf of ratepayers to the PUC and I also put this initiative forward,” Caldara says. He doesn't need the backing of the think tank, he suggests, because the measure will require “like, 28 cents worth of promotion” to pass because so many Coloradans are already worried about their energy bills.
