The
Colorado Corn Growers Association expressed disappointment after Gov. John
Hickenlooper signed SB252 into law today.
The
law forces rural electric cooperatives to double the use of renewable energy by
2020. The cost – estimated to be as much as $3 billion – will be passed on to
rural electric customers.
“I
am deeply disappointed that our governor would throw the residents of rural
Colorado, who are the ones growing our food, under the bus,” said CCGA Public
Policy Chair Rick Palkowitsh.
