central - east central Minnesota - | Kochia - 5/16/2024 19:02 Moving power has always been an issue, going all the way back to Garrison dam and the "battleship row" of mines and plants in that one area, but Basin has been going nuts here building and upgrading lines there shouldn't be an issue by then. Wasn't great River and excel the owners of Coal Creek?
Yes, Xcel wants to completely devest itself of any fossil fuel generation and wants them shut down - but, in this case, Great River beat them to the punch and sold to who ever owns Rainbow (likely investors Xcel and other energy holders). Trouble with Xcel, they developed into a energy investment company - they operate for profit and have very close ties to State Public Utilities commissioners and lots of policy adopted for the benefit of the monopoly of them and other energy companies around the upper Midwest and not the public . . . . . |
