Financial modeling indicates that,
. . . 2 gigawatts of wind power could effectively replace,
. . . 6,000-gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy,
. . . generated at Colorado coal plants.

This new economic reality,
. . . is wrecking havoc on utilities’ investment strategies everywhere,
. . . not just in Colorado.

The main problem is that,
. . . utilities continue profiting from old plants,
. . . through long-term depreciation schemes.
