hmmm, last I heard on this story was that the 1.25 mil. study has been put on hold do to push back from those on the Denver board.
One thing is true though, new power supply added to the grid is needed soon, very soon. With the rise of E-cars and the very big rise of AI and the power it takes to run, Colo. along with many other states better get more power on-line, and PRONTO.
