Xcel Energy recently achieved the first major milestone for Colorado’s Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act by submitting a plan to replace old and inefficient coal-fired power plants with cleaner sources – the first plan of this kind in the nation.
The Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act was signed into law earlier this year in an effort to save residents hundreds of millions of dollars through a plan specific to Colorado as opposed to a federally-imposed plan to reduce emissions.
