The Devils Lake Journal reported in an article titled "clearing air may raise power costs in MN, ND", that a federal program to "cut haze in natural areas like national parks" will raise electric rates even more. The only haze that is polluting this area of Minnesota and North Dakota is from the hot air coming from politicians and bureaucrats.Kristi Schlosser Carlson, an attorney for Minnkota, said early tests also show the EPA's technology will not work with the lignite coal used in Minnkota's plant. Schlosser Carlson said the cooperative prefers a technology that cleans the air without more big rate increases for members. What the EPA wants would cost a half billion dollars but visibility improvements would not be noticeably. Half a billion dollars from the people of Minnesota and North Dakota who cannot afford it with no visible improvements and no one will say anything because no one want to be accused of being on the side of pollution. Just shut up and pay the bill even if it is a stupid fix that does not work.
