Senate Bill 25-139 is a pro-freedom, pro-energy, and pro-consumer bill that adds nuclear energy to Colorado’s clean energy portfolio and eliminates costly government-imposed fees that drive up the cost of living.
This bill:
- Recognizes nuclear energy as clean energy, allowing it to be considered alongside wind, solar, and hydro as a viable source of low-carbon power.
- Repeals unnecessary and burdensome fees on retail deliveries, plastic bags, energy use, and groceries—fees that were imposed without voter approval.
- Eliminates excessive regulations on Colorado farmers by removing confinement standards for egg-laying hens.
- Stops local governments from piling extra taxes on nicotine products, protecting consumers from unfair double taxation.
- Cuts red tape and reduces the regulatory burden on energy and transportation industries, helping lower costs for Colorado families.
SB 25-139 makes energy more affordable, protects consumer choice, and ends the government’s habit of nickel-and-diming Coloradans at every turn.
My Thoughts on the bIll
Colorado’s big-government bureaucracy is out of control. The same politicians who claim to fight for working families have done nothing but raise costs through absurd taxes, ridiculous fees, and crippling regulations on industries that actually create jobs.
SB 25-139 is a major step toward restoring sanity. It not only lowers the cost of living for every Coloradan, but it also embraces nuclear energy—the safest, cleanest, most efficient energy source known to man.
Why SB 25-139 Is Critical for Colorado’s Future
✅ Adds Nuclear Energy to Clean Energy Portfolio – Wind and solar alone can’t power Colorado. Nuclear provides the stable, reliable baseload energy we need.
✅ Eliminates Wasteful Fees – From bag fees to retail delivery fees, politicians have taxed everyday necessities to death. This bill stops the madness.
✅ Lowers Energy Costs – Nuclear is cheaper than coal and gas, and it will drive down utility bills while keeping the lights on.
✅ Defends Farmers & Small Businesses – Overregulation is killing our agricultural industry. SB 25-139 removes unnecessary burdens that drive up food costs.
Lower Costs, More Freedom!
Colorado should lead the way in energy innovation and economic freedom. This bill stops government overreach, protects consumers, and embraces energy independence.
