CO Unite for Climate 2/25/25 Ack

• Did you know Data Centers pay 3 cents for electric per kilowatt hour and Denver citizens pays 15 cents?  

• 
  

  The largest of data centers are informally called hyperscale. QTS-Aurora, which is near the intersection of I-70 and E-470, certainly qualifies. The data center requires its own 230-kV transmission line from an Xcel substation to deliver 177 megawatts of electricity.

  To put this into perspective, Boulder altogether needs 250 megawatts, according to a fact sheet distributed by the Colorado Renewable Energy Society last week to state legislators

Who is doing what?

STAR- Save The Aurora Reservoir

We are starting to ask businesses near the reservoir for sponsorships.  Today I visited 8 businesses.  2 of the receptionists I spoke with did not even know what fracking is.  Not one person knew about the fracking that may start soon.  I was astonished.  Hopefully I can visit more businesses this week and spread the word!

350 Colorado
