Once again we are witnessing change. The generation of electricity is moving beyond fossil fuels despite the subsidies that the industry enjoys. Unfortunately, Tri-State Generation and Transmission relies upon its coal-fired power plants for electricity.
Regrettably, in 2007, La Plata Electric Association entered into a long-term contract that makes all of us underwriters of Tri-State’s unwise business decisions.
Jeff Mannix is running for the LPEA board in District 2. Jeff is a cattleman with a unique vision for LPEA’s future that will benefit both ranchers and the rest of LPEA’s members. He would like to see more renewable energy generation here on under-used ranch lands.
If we do not make the most of this opportunity to change, we will be held captive by Tri-State. Please vote Jeff Mannix onto the LPEA Board for District 2.
