The other %'s are also way off base....
Personally, I'd rather pay 23.4% more for electricity and not have a coal bin in the backyard....
Colorado is coal country, so you;re preaching to the choir.
Provided, of course, that you actually have the income to cover that additional 23.4%. An awful lot of Americans are on fixed incomes and take that kind of a hit.
America has plenty of energy to meet its needs; it also has a president who refuses to allow any of it to be used.
