Now’s the time to tell your friends,<\/em><\/p>\n

At our favorite agency…<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s the Power Plant Siting Act Annual Hearing!<\/p>\n

PPSA Annual Hearing Notice – 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the annual time to tell the agency what does work and what does not work with the Power Plant Siting Act.\u00c2\u00a0 After the hearing, now officiated by an Administrative Law Judge (new as of a few years ago), a report is issued to the PUC and then ???\u00c2\u00a0 It used to go to the legislature, guess I have to find out what happens now.<\/p>\n

December 21, 2012 beginning at 1:00 p.m.<\/h2>\n

Public Utilities Commission<\/h2>\n

3rd Floor Large Hearing Room<\/h2>\n

121 – 7th Place East<\/h2>\n

St. Paul, MN\u00c2\u00a0 55101<\/h2>\n

Each of you who have experience siting and routing of large electric energy facilities — this is the time to weigh in.\u00c2\u00a0 You can do it in person, and you can do it by filing comments.<\/p>\n

Here is the Power Plant Siting Act, which governs the siting and routing of large energy facilities:<\/p>\n

The Rulemaking Petition I’d filed in 2010 to address some of these problems has moved into the preliminary stage of a proposal, and the proposal is dreadful, pulling back and lessening opportunities for the public to participate, removing the “participant” option from ways to participate in the actual PPSA evidentiary hearings, where members of the public could question witnesses, VERY distressing:<\/p>\n

OAH Rulemaking Request for Comments<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OAH Rulemaking Draft Changes<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Judge Lipman is in charge of this thus far, and he has said he is not publishing the comments received on the OAH website, so ??? Who knows.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, some time in the future there will be a formal rulemaking proposal published and we can formally comment again.\u00c2\u00a0 NOW is the time to register comments on their Draft Changes before they announce what changes they really want to make.<\/p>\n

It’s long overdue to file rulemaking petitions for other aspects of PPSA or siting\/routing.\u00c2\u00a0 Two weeks to get that ready!<\/p>\n

At times it’s shouting in the wilderness, but we’ve got to weigh in or they think everything is hunky-dory and we all know it isn’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
