Energy Company Shuts Down Access to Home Thermostats During 90 Degree Heat Wave in Denver

Now you know why the government and Big Tech were pushing smart meters.

This from thegatewaypundit.com.

Residents in Colorado were surprised this week when they were unable to adjust the smart meters in their own home.

Trust us. We’re getting our guidance from the government. They know what’s best. It’s for your own good—the good of all.

The Denver Channel reported:

During the dog days of summer, it’s important to keep your home cool. But when thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado tried adjusting their thermostats Tuesday, they learned they had no control over the temperatures in their own homes.

Temperatures climbed into the 90s Tuesday, which is why Tony Talarico tried to crank up the air conditioning in his partner’s Arvada home.

Talarico said:

I mean, it was 90 out, and it was right during the peak period. It was hot.

That’s when he saw a message on the thermostat stating the temperature was locked due to an “energy emergency.”

On social media, dozens of Xcel customers complained of similar experiences—some reporting home temperatures as high as 88 degrees.

Final thought, a question: Will this be sufficient rationale for 22,000-plus Colorado voters to stop voting for the Left?
