Mesaba IGCC Public Hearings on NOW!
December 18th, 2006
It’s time for the public hearings on Excelsior’s Mesaba coal gasification project, and it’s tired out and tomorrow is Hoyt Lakes. Don’t expect much for awhile! But one interesting tidbit:
John Derus was testifying for Excelsior, and introduced himself implying he was speaking for the Metro Counties Energy Task Force, waxing on and on in a way that lent apparent authority, but it didn’t feel right, and when he was finished, I asked him specifically if he was representing them, oh my, somebody who’s a lobbyist should know better than to respond like that!  It took a while, but finally it was clear he was NOT speaking for them.. sigh… and he’s got his hat in the ring for U of M Regent…
