Xcel wasted millions that could have undergrounded our wires

Xcel spent millions that we paid them for electricity to fight Boulder's attempt to become energy independent. All that money could have been spent to underground the power lines that started the Marshall fires and forced the shutdowns today and Wednesday. And they plan to spend billions more anne even more power lines, when excel's president told Boulder city council that 2/3 the cost of electricity was for transmission and distribution. A non-parasitic electric utility would instead incentivize home solar, which reduces or eliminates the need for any more power lines! This was a giant success in Germany which is now one of the greenest countries in the world as a result. Xcel is not our "partner"! Xcel is purely parasitic and must be run out of town.
