Colorado Renewable Energy Standard: Amendment 37 - (PPT)

摘要

Given the opportunity, voters will support renewable energy. Working through regulatory and legislative forums sharpens abilities needed to win initiatives. Broad, bi-partisan coalition building is required, and easy. Raising money from industry is tough-too many free riders. Election Day victory is like climbing up a mountain. Implementing rules are like climbing back down. "Trusted supplier to monopoly" and "advocate" are hard roles to manage effectively. Regulators need to better regulate monopsony-incentive is to squeeze suppliers. Rate base, rate of return regulation does not help wind. Transmission should be pre-built to wind development zones. RPS policies depend on implementation.
