4. Boulder, Colorado, took control.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And now the fossil-fuel generating corps (namely Big Coal) are trying to wrest away local control and destroy the solar municipal utility the people have built. They spent millions before and lost, and now they're spending more millions to try again.

So much for "free markets," eh? Gotta protect the monopoly and shareholder profits, yanno, no matter what.

If Boulder wins this round, it sets a precedent for other municipalities to do the same. The floodgates will open and fossil-fuel generating companies will drown. I can't wait.
