Our \u201cgood neighbors\u201d at Xcel Energy<\/a><\/strong> have file an application for a Certificate of Need to add more nuclear waste casks at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The application is the most poorly written filing I\u2019ve seen from Xcel<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 they\u2019re usually so well done, but this application, particularly the first 7 chapters, are dreadful, circular, non-sensical. Chapters 8 and onward are better, except for a frolic and detour from the subject in Chapter 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, on behalf of Communities United for Responsible Energy, I filed Initial Comments with the Public Utilities Commission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oddest thing about this application is that they say repeatedly that they have capacity to last until 2033. Last I looked, it\u2019s 2024 (how\u2019d that happen?!?!), they\u2019re applying for this at least SEVEN (7) years too early. PREMATURE!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major flaw \u2014 they\u2019re saying nuclear energy is \u201ccarbon free.\u201d Ummm, ever examined the full nuclear cycle? CARBON FREE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the application \u2014 see for yourself how awful it is, and check out Appendix I \u2013 the \u201cNuclear Leave Behind\u201d<\/strong> transmission study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
