As wire desk editor, I’m editing the CPR News report for The Colorado Chronicle. Here’s the edited wire copy: Headline: Xcel Data Center Plan Draws Pushback Over Costs, Clean Energy Goals Lead: Colorado residents and advocacy groups are opposing Xcel Energy’s proposed data center plan, arguing it could drive up electricity rates and fail to adequately incentivize clean energy use. The proposal, reported by CPR News, comes as the state weighs expanding tech infrastructure against consumer protections and climate commitments. Note: Copy edited for tone, clarity, and regional alignment with The Colorado Chronicle’s editorial standards. Full reporting available via Colorado Public Radio.
