Another brilliant Xcel idea… NOT!
June 30th, 2025
Time to crash. Just got this filed. A DAY TO SPARE!!
Xcel Energy and then the Public Utilities Commission always pick at least one spot on every line that really makes no sense. This time, it’s a greenfield crossing of the Mississippi River, at a stretch that’s state Wild & Scenic, and the line in the map above is where they’re going to mow down the eagle’s tree ridge on the bluff for their (#&$*#@^*%&# transmission.
To do it, well, maybe it wasn’t necessary, but they did, they buried the DNR’s comments saying expressly what they preferred — and they’re the natural resources gurus. So yeah, I attached the comments clearly stating their “strong preference” recommendation of routes,, and of course linked… and for your edification, here they are!!!
