The warped view of a Republican has to bring Medicare into a discussion about Big Stone II.

Larry...I would love to hear your explanation to the the flux in greenhouse gasses since the industrial revolution. Peer reviewed please...I wouldn't believe a word of yours without some solid evidence. Alternative energy is not an easy path...but it is the most logical in the long run and grand scheme of things. Because of industrialization and massive population increases across the world energy is of high demand; and as a world leader I would hope we continue the path we are on demanding the most environmentally friendly method of power.

Larry- See, they can't answer the question. Liberals never do. I'm surprised he didn't bring out the old "waste and fraud" talking points!

Larry - You ask about Medicare? The Republicans don't even want Medicare to exist! It's socialism! Larry, socialism is bad, did you forget that?

Larry, again, stop the nonsense. Who's advocating that all current coal plants be shut down? You're acting like a fool throwing out those baseless comments. Where did I suggest that a 20-Megawatt wind farm should replace a current coal plant?

Larry, grow a brain for once, a 20-Megawatt wind farm is going up in western Minnesota that will supplement what is already being created by other sources of electricity. Who ever said that wind power would replace coal power? Larry seriously think before you speak. It wouldn't take many wind farms to fill the gap of BS-II. And when a wind tower isn't turning, it won't mean the lights of a hospital will go out. That's a baseless fear-mongering comment, something I should come to expect from you!

Power usage was off 6% this year. Anybody notice that? This was an ECONOMIC decision. (They had all the permits.) When all was said and done, it seems more coal really is NOT the cheap option. Our region has plenty of power, and the east coast doesnt want to buy it here, they'll make their own. There was no market for Big Stone2. In that sense, CURE was right.

Larry, The only way the wind will stop blowing is when you quit making your stupid uniformed comments on here and we all know that isn`t going to happen.

Coal causes too much pollution, wind, water, and sunlight are all sources of energy that need to b tapped more.

You can't run out of natural resources when the liberals won't let you mine them or drill them joe. The way the liberals are doing this we will never run out.
