Seize Xcel energy's assets, shut them down

This company is obviously and clearly retaliating against the areas near the marshall fire. They've expanded the area to pretend they're not doing so this time, but I'm not buying it. They were sued, because instead of spending the BILLIONS in taxpayer subsidies they've been given on upgrading infrastructure, they paid their executives and shareholders more. Public services should not be profitable, especially when taxes subsidize them. Since wind has been an ongoing problem forever here, this company should've put the lines underground DECADES AGO when they were GIVEN OBSCENE AMOUNTS OF MONEY out of our TAXES to do so. This is a trend too, Xfinity has done the same thing with the money we have GIVEN THEM to upgrade broadband infrastructure. They promised to out Fiber in, and manipulated everyone by adding "last mile fiber" so they can say they TECHNICALLY put fiber in, while pocketing the bulk of the subsidies they fraudulently accepted. They ALSO force us to pay EVER INCREASING FEES FOR POWER on TOP of the subsidies they're given from our taxes, and that needs to stop. They have NOT provided us with extra services, and the prices should not rise because of that. There is NO EXCUSE except corruption and greed for what they've done, and I want every decision maker at that corrupt company imprisoned, and I want ALL their assets seized. I want the functional monopoly xcel has over the power industry in colorado broken up, their state contracts revoked (REGARDLESS of the consequences for the states Treasury), and I want their assets seized, and distributed to local municipalities, and I want those assets and funds used to fund public, non-profit power companies which are owned and operated by the taxpayers in each municipality.


Any politicians who are not working towards this goal will not have my vote. Our politician's support, and enabling of xcels corrupt, horrible, retaliatory behavior towards the areas which sued them for burning everyone's houses down with their CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE has ensured I am now a single issue voter. And the same goes for Xfinity/Comcast. Close them down too. If any politician isn't vocally and publicly putting forth plans to break up both of these monopolies, and return control of VITAL PUBLIC SERVICES to the taxpayers, I will NOT support them, hell I might run against them myself.
