The problem is that it&#8217;s a &#8220;big picture&#8221; project that isn&#8217;t needed. The utilities want it because it will generate much revenue for them, but we&#8217;ve not yet come to knowledgable agreement about the policy direction this project represents. We don&#8217;t need this for local load service, it&#8217;s only necessary for the utilities to send a lot of Dakota coal generated electricity through Minnesota to points east. CapX 2020 is going to be built on the land of Minnesotans and the backs of Minnesota ratepayers&#8230; that is&#8230; unless we say NO!<\/p>\n<p>This conveys the magnitude of CapX 2020 &#8212; from a power point:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"capx2020-powerpoint-p-7-big-picture-map.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nocapx2020.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/capx2020-powerpoint-p-7-big-picture-map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nocapx2020.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/capx2020-powerpoint-p-7-big-picture-map.jpg\" alt=\"capx2020-powerpoint-p-7-big-picture-map.jpg\" width=\"532\" height=\"411\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nUntil this site is up and running, go to www.legalectric.org and search for &#8220;CapX&#8221; or &#8220;transmission&#8221; and &#8220;need&#8221; and also check out, on the righthand side, &#8220;Transmission for Dummies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the official PUC site, go to www.puc.state.mn.us and then to &#8220;eDockets&#8221; and then to &#8220;Search Documents&#8221; and search for docket 06-1115.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notice letters went out recently to over 70,000 Minnesota landowners for a transmission project with over 1,000 miles of transmission that is expected to cost from $1.3-1.6 billion.
