Citizens Energy Task Force

… for a sustainable energy future

Important meeting tomorrow, July 14

Posted on | July 13, 2009 |

July 14 - We need citizens to attend this very important meeting.

The PUC has scheduled the hearing on whether to accept or decline the petitions for reconsideration for Tuesday, July 14. This item is the third item on the PUC agenda, and the calendar begins at 9:30 am.

Please do your best to attend this meeting. Citizen presence made a big difference on the PUC’s decision to add wind conditions to the CapX 2020 Brookings Line and they should see that we want those conditions to remain.

At this meeting, the PUC will also decide on the CETF petition to reopen the LaCrosse Line case because of new declining energy use #’s revealed by Xcel Energy after the PUC decision was announced in May, and additional information from the USFWS that the La Crosse line would cause environmental harm.

    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.

    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.
