Colorado conservatives, this PUC power play to boot natural gas from our homes is straight out of the radical green playbook—another Polis-pushed fiasco that's going to leave families shivering in the dark while their utility bills skyrocket like a SpaceX launch gone wrong. The Dem-dominated commission just rubber-stamped a "decarbonization" scheme slapping emissions caps on Xcel and other providers, forcing a switch to pricey electric heat pumps by 2050, all in the name of chasing zero emissions rainbows. But as Jake Fogleman lays bare: 70% of us rely on nat gas for heat, it's four times cheaper than juice from the grid, and that NREL bombshell? Heat pumps are a money pit for most gas users—no positive ROI without Uncle Sam's subsidy crutches, as those maps scream with their sea of low percentages for Colorado and beyond.

This isn't "progress"; it's punishment, courtesy of Jared Polis and his eco-elite cronies who jet-set to climate confabs while mandating we peasants freeze our tails off in sub-zero Rockies winters. Heat pumps flop when temps plummet below zero—hello, backup resistance heating that guzzles even more power—and with coal plants on the chopping block too, where's the reliable grid to back this up? Not in their fantasy world, where affordability takes a backseat to virtue-signaling. Seniors on fixed incomes? Screwed. Working families? Doubled energy costs in a state already bleeding residents over high living expenses. It's California 2.0: Ban the affordable, subsidize the inefficient, and watch the exodus accelerate.

Time to fight back, patriots—demand Republicans reclaim the statehouse, repeal these tyrannical caps, protect TABOR from green grifters, and unleash American energy dominance with nat gas, nuclear, and real innovation that doesn't bankrupt the backbone of our economy. Polis talks affordability? Prove it by ditching this decarbon delusion and letting markets deliver cheap, reliable heat.
