  2. Jason Wardrip Interview

    Jason is the B.M. for the Colorado Construction Unions

    Personal note – I worked summers while I was going to C.U. framing houses. Residential so non-union. I've worked similar jobs and respect the work these people do. I also respect the quality, which we must have for nuclear, that these workers bring to the job.

    Funny note – My dad was a major builder in Hawaii. My brother was working for him once (yes, nepotism) as a union laborer and they went on strike. My brother got someone to take a picture of my brother on the picket line with a big sign saying "unfair labor practices" and made a poster of it. My dad loved it and had it up in his office.

    ps – It was a statewide strike, not aimed at my dad's company.

  3. I've interviewed a number of legislators and it always makes me feel better as I learn that most of them do listen to each other and works across the aisle. And that while they disagree quite a bit, they also find the thoughtful legislators in the other party often have good points to improve legislation. It's good to know they're working together.

    Also, if they run people like Senators Liston and Simpson for state-wide offices, or in competitive districts, they'll win a fair number of those races. If the Republican primary voters decide winning is more important than philosophical purity, they could bend this state back to purple.

    Of course the same is true in Hawaii. Yet the bozos running the Hawaii Republican Party are all in on going ever more extreeme. And have run themselves to irrelevance. I think most of them are thrilled my mom retired, even though it meant her seat is now easily held by a Democrat.

    Anyways, while the pages here are generally filled with the Republicans proposing crazy measures, the reason you don't hear about the majority of Republican legislators here is they're thoughtful people focused on what is best for the state. And our state is better off for it.

  4. I'm applying to be an Intervener in a PUC proceeding. Any suggestions first of all to help me get approved? And second, if I get approved, what I should do?

    I'm doing this both because I want to make sure building nuclear using the already approved designs gets considered and because I want to see the process from the inside.

    It's for proceeding 24A-0442E

    thanks – dave

    ps to KW & others. Don't worry, there are a lot of Interveners as well as the Commissioners who are all in on wind & solar.

    1. David, why would you apply for something without knowing how you would be evaluated or what you want to do? 

      Looking at a recent COPUC Proceeding, [ file:///C:/Users/Owner/Dropbox/PC/Downloads/C24-0719-I_24A-0380EG.pdf ] intervenors appear to be those who have some stake in a matter and want to insure that they have access to get questions answered.  Mainly, it appears to be a way of finding out how a decision was made in order to understand the position that COULD apply to their interests.

      1. Good question. I’m doing this for two reasons. The first is I think it’s a good way to better understand how the PUC operates. As every intervener was learning the first time they intervened, this will be my education on the process.

        Second, I don’t believe there are any advocates for the existing nuclear plant designs among the interveners. I want the arguments for starting the process to build a NRC approved design tomorrow to be put in front of the PUC and Xcel.

        ps – you did a link to a local file
