So much Boulder/progressive BS – 9news.com | Can Colorado’s candidates for governor promise 100 percent renewable energy?

In a recent 9NEWS gathering with voters, both candidates got questions about this. To some voters, the idea sounded a little grandiose.

Asked whether he means that all our cars and airplanes are going to run off of electricity, Polis explained that this goal is only about the power supply for our electric grid.

“The power for your home, not airplanes, not cars,” Polis said. “The power for your home will be 100 percent renewable by 2040.”

That timeline is the same goal that Johnston is promoting—and there’s a glaring caveat that needs to be made clear: the next governor won’t be governor anymore in the year 2040.

If the next governor wins a second term, they’d be termed out of office in early 2027. That’s 13 years before the promised all-renewable year.

If it sounds a little pie-in-the sky to you, you have reason to feel that way. (emphasis added)

One thing it certainly sounds like to me is EXPENSIVE. The poor and middle class will be purchasing energy through connectforenergyco.com.

Where exactly are we going to charge our cars? Government provided free charging stations?
