Wind Rulemaking — Petition for Reconsideration
October 16th, 2018
Remember when AWA Goodhue and Pickens were pushing that wind project in Goodhue County and accused the local folks of “promiscuous ice fishing” and baiting eagles? Well, above is what Goodhue Wind Truth’s Marie McNamara had to say about that… and we’re still at it.
A couple months ago, we filed yet another rulemaking petition, this one was the 2nd for wind rulemaking in Minnesota, to address the big holes in Minn. R. Ch. 7854, the wind siting rules.
The Commission wasn’t thrilled, and denied the petition:
DENY THE PETITION? WHEN THERE ARE NO WIND SITING RULES? Yeah, right… so here’s what we filed today:
