This document reveals—step-by-step—how political, agricultural, and consumer-advocacy leaders across the country have mobilized against Xcel Energy following the catastrophic Smokehouse Creek wildfire, which destroyed over a million acres and countless farms and ranches. It compiles every major filing, press release, public statement, and investigation launched since May 2025, showing a rapidly escalating campaign demanding accountability from the utility whose neglected infrastructure contributed to one of the largest agricultural disasters in Texas history.

Inside, you’ll see:

• National organizations filing formal challenges to federal energy regulations, citing Xcel’s history of deadly wildfires and failures in safety and maintenance.
• Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opening an unprecedented investigation into Xcel and related utilities.
• Congressional action and new legislation aimed at curbing the corporate practices that allowed disasters like Smokehouse Creek to happen.
• Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller publicly calling out Xcel for lowball settlement offers and urging full compensation for ranchers who lost cattle, fencing, forage, and livelihoods.
• A growing bipartisan coalition demanding transparency, justice, and financial restitution for victims.

This is the full political story—who spoke up, who applied pressure, and how the movement gained national momentum—all in one place. If you want to understand exactly how the fight for fair compensation unfolded, and why Xcel is facing mounting scrutiny, this timeline lays it all out.
