Ep. 176 - Cory Gaines - Devil's Advocate What if outside organizations could place their own people inside government? We break down a little-known Colorado scheme where privately funded staff are embedded within the legislative process—raising serious questions about transparency, influence, and who’s really shaping policy behind the scenes. Is this harmless expertise… or something more? 41:14

Colorado's Electric Utilities join a new RTO. What are the sources of power coming from, and what will that mean for the state and ratepayers?

Yes, we’re giving away a Predator Generator. No, this is not a drill. Yes, it’s because reliability apparently isn’t fashionable anymore. How to Enter Starting with the first show of 2026, drop a funny, clever, or pithy comment in the show’s comment section. That’s it. No forms. No fine print to initial. No ESG questionnaire. We’ll be collecting comments throughout the 2026 legislative session, so you’ll have ample time to workshop your sarcasm. After each show, we’ll pick our favorite comment. Full transparency: we’re the hosts, we pick the favorites, and it is 100% subjective. If you’re looking for a neutral referee, this is not that contest. At the end of the session, we’ll select our top 3–5 favorite comments. Final Vote Then you vote on the winner. Democracy still works here. Mostly. Winner announced on the last show in May 2026. The (Very Small) Legal Stuff No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited, regulated, or over-engineered. No cash value and not transferable. Must pick up at the Independence Institute office, 727 E 16th Ave, Denver, CO 80203 One generator will be awarded. Actual runtime may vary depending on weather, policy decisions, and common sense. This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, or approved by any utility, regulator, or energy modeler who thinks batteries replace physics. By entering, you agree we may read, share, or lovingly mock your comment on the show. One comment. One generator. Because when the grid wobbles, satire won’t keep your lights on — but a Predator Generator will. 26:09
