I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check. I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after. Retweet.!

LOL. At the moment Xcel posted this, we are currently 52 speakers into a Colorado PUC hearing on Xcel’s “Clean Energy Plan” where 49 of the comments have said Xcel is not moving fast enough, needs to retire its coal earlier, and should avoid the new gas plants its considering.

Good timing on this greenwashing tweet- dozens of Coloradans are speaking out right now in a hearing, calling for Xcel to decarbonize more rapidly. That "bold" plan includes burning coal longer than any other CO utility. So, is Xcel propelling us forward or holding us back? 🤔
