As you may already be aware, the 20-year franchise agreement, a contract with Xcel Energy to provide electricity to the City of Boulder, expires on August 3rd. With the planet warming up and the economy cooling down, this contract window gives Boulder a once-every-20-years opportunity to consider all of the options for secure, clean power generation, possibly stimulating the regional economy in the process.
