Hot off the press – FIVE days notice, including the weekend. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MEETING, because if they need a planning meeting “regarding implementation of the new Chapter 216I governing energy infrastructure permitting,” well, could we have a clearer showing of a need for RULES? Rules are what’s implemented to deal with the statutes. DOH!

They’re probably going to round up all the usual suspects to come to an agreement on how all, ALL, of these routing and siting dockets will be handled (without rules, without a rulemaking) and ram them all through.

This notice includes TL-26-135 which is the transmission across Hwy. 52 for the Google Echo Zone data center in Pine Island, and TL-25-112 which is the Iron Range-St. Louis Co.-Arrowhead transmission docket, which has a little link that serves the Google data center in Hermantown.

This should be entertaining at the very least!

Oh, but wait… a WTAF follow up after receiving a panelist invite:

Instead, they’re asking “others” NOT to participate.
