Big Stone II, Minnesota Public Utilities Commission the EPA and Excelsior:

I'll defer to Legalectric for their coverage, but change can come quickly. Something unthinkable only two weeks ago happened; The EPA objected to the Big Stone II permit. This after the Minnesota PUC and its South Dakota equivalent let the thing walk with a "promise us you will do thigns right permit". Maybe now the reasonable choices needed in Minnesota can actually be made, since the state is controlled by the right wing. Hopefully, this will have an effect on boondoggles like Excelsior.
