Xcel Energy looks to avoid Colorado wildfires — and PG&E's fate — and wants customers to pay for it
Xcel Energy will need to make a concerted public relations push if it wants to get the nearly $600 million it wants for wildfire mitigation efforts.

Demonstrating the need for wildfire mitigation will be a hard sell, even if wildfires ravaged Colorado in 2020. This could be a long campaign.
Xcel Energy looks to avoid Colorado wildfires — and PG&E's fate — and wants customers to pay for it
