1 year ago a big coal plant in Colorado broke & is still offline. The question of who'll pay is still open. We're working to ensure consumers aren't on the hook & any energy gaps are filled w/ energy efficiency measures NOT delaying closure of coal plants pirg.org/colorado/foundation…

Increasingly, we’re pushed to trash tech that should still work, just because the software has expired or lost support. You can find the list of beloved, otherwise-usable devices that were junked in our Electronic Waste Graveyard. It's just a waste. pirg.org/colorado/foundation…

Family #EV road trip for camping in #Moab, from Denver in our @Kia #EV9, charging at @ElectrifyAm stations along the way. Great fast chargers w/ a great view near @ArchesNPS, thanks to @RMP_Utah. Best part: no tailpipe emissions to harm our health or the scenery! #goelectric
