Not surprising at all, Representative Marilyn Musgrave voted against Colorado's best interest. The "partisan efforts" that her spokesperson claims in this article is an excuse that is tired and worn. This bogus "partisan" claim is used to muddy the concept of the original bill that was voted on. What is wrong with taking away some of the oil and gas industry tax credits to pay for renewable energy tax credits? Renewable energy that is generated by the individual farmer, doctor, mechanic, construction worker, whatever, is a positive concept for Coloradoans. It's as simple as that. If you believe that taking away this oil and gas tax credit will cause our energy rates to go up then you might want to check yourself. Generating some of your own energy, if not all of it, will reduce the bill that you receive from the utility company. Why? Because you won't be using as much of the utility generated power. Allowing the individual Colorado citizen to generate some of his or her own energy is an empowering concept that the oil and gas industry and apparently Marilyn Musgrave do not want you to have.
Do what's right for the individuals that you represent Rep. Musgrave and empower them with the ability to create some of their own energy needs, while also helping to spur a renewable energy economy in Colorado. And while you are at it do away with the doublespeak and the hollow arguments.
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
