Citizens Energy Task Force

… for a sustainable energy future

Energy for Minnesota, by Minnesotans

Posted on | July 15, 2008 |

When we send money to foreign countries to buy nearly 70 percent of the oil we use every day, they build new skyscrapers and we lose jobs. When we spend that money building solar arrays and windmills, we build competitive industries and gain jobs here at home.

— from a recent speech by Al Gore

The same could be said about Minnesota. Where do we want our energy dollars to go? CETF says: spend them locally, to create jobs, prosperity, and self-reliance here in Minnesota. The proposed CapX project does not support locally produced energy that would benefit Minnesotans.

You can make a difference! Write to Judge Beverly Heydinger and let her know that locally produced energy is important to you.

    The Citizens Energy Task Force (CETF) is a coalition of neighbors and citizens concerned about the proposed CapX2020 high voltage transmission lines in Minnesota and Wisconsin. As a legally registered "intervening party" in the CapX2020 permitting process, we represent the concerns of citizens who question the need for these particular high voltage power lines, and who support clean, sustainable, locally-generated power sources.

    The permitting process is going on now and we need you

    YOU BELIEVE citizens should have an influence on what type of energy is produced for Minnesota's and Wisconsin's energy needs and how far it travels.

    ADD YOUR VOICE to the CapX public hearing in your community. Speak up and write - your opinions matter.

    ADD YOUR VOICE to change the unfair eminent domain law, which exempts utilities from laws helping landowners to get a fair price in eminent domain.

    WE NEED YOUR HELP to raise money, inform citizens and get the word out.

    THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY to have a voice in our energy future and to impact whether or not these lines will be built.
