Minnesota-Say NO to Big Stone II!
On July 13, the Elk River City Council will vote on whether or not the Elk River Municipal Utility will invest $90 Million in the Big Stone II coal-fired power plant proposed to be built near Big Stone, South Dakota. While other utilities across the Midwest and the nation are abandoning plans for building new coal plants, the Big Stone II planners continue down this path, which critics call "uneconomic and environmentally irresponsible." Elk River, Minnesota is world renowned as an “Energy City”, an incubator for Green and community-based energy production.Please take a minute and urge them to vote NO to buying into this controversial project.
Based on the City Council meeting on Monday June 29, some members are on the fence about the project. The Mayor and 1 member oppose it. The other 3 seem wary. Big Stone 2 needs Elk River to commit their money in order to move forward. Let's stop Big Stone 2 before it starts!
