The Best PowerGab Comment of the Legislative Session!

Throughout the Colorado legislative session, we challenged PowerGab viewers and listeners to leave their funniest, sharpest, and most memorable comments on our YouTube channel.

We received dozens of clever one-liners, observations, and zingers. Narrowing the field to just five finalists was no easy task, but we did it.

Thank you to everyone who voted! Voting is now closed. The PowerGab Comment Champion of 2026 will be announced during the July 14, 2026 PowerGab episode.

As regular listeners know, Amy is always reminding everyone to “firm your own grid.” We’re helping one lucky commenter do exactly that. The winner will receive a Predator 1600-Watt Generator. Reliable, portable, always on.

Our five finalists are:

  • I am looking forward to “Julie McCluskie’s Natural Gas in A Can,” coming soon to a wind mill store near you!!
  • Having the current PUC managing Colorado’s ENERGY POLICY… is like having a VEGAN in charge of a MEAT PACKING PLANT.
  • Those that would want to close an existing power plant with no economical replacement are cutting off their nose to spite their face.
  • PowerGab needs “I told you so” T-shirts
  • All blue states banning data centers should be assessed a monthly “per megabit” access charge for using the internet hosted in red states.

Tune in to see who won!
