An absolute nightmare

This was nothing short of an absolute nightmare all to protect Xcel from liability. I feel absolutely take. Advantage of by my public utility company. I live in golden right above the school of mines and had my power shut off for two multiple day stretches beginning on Wednesday and Friday morning. On both days of the shut off the wind wasn’t even that bad, especially for the majority of the day. I have seen way worse in golden and it’s never caused a fire before. My kids had their school and preschool canceled for 3 consecutive days. I pay nearly $200 per day for daycare, which was thrown down the drain. I couldn’t work the whole time because I had to care for my kids who were out of school. I have two refrigerators and a meat freezer. Everything has gone bad (likely over $1000 in food since I shop in bulk from Costco ) I had to rush and buy a $700 generator on Thursday . We didn’t even use it because the reality is a gas generator is fire risk (more risky than having power at our house). We stayed at a hotel last night. I’ve slept poorly for the last 4 nights with all the stress and anxiety around this situation. This has been more than an inconvenience and it’s insane they’re doing this to people. Most of the time during the power shut off on Wednesday and Friday it was t even windy. If this is the new normal we’ll have to move. I have never heard of a power shut off like this before that last for almost five days straight just to prevent a “possible” fire. Xcel needs to bury its lines and put customers first. The way they treated us was terrible. I can’t believe this is legal
