    February 22, 2012Bachmann vows district change won’t weaken push for St. Croix bridge

    Source: www.bemidjipioneer.com

    Minnesota’s new political map moves the Stillwater area – and any new bridge that’s built there – out of the district Michele Bachmann represents. But the Republican Congresswoman promises that won’t soften her resolve to see the project completed. The area will now be in the district represented by Democrat Betty McCollum, who opposes the bridge design now being considered.

    Source: www.nytimes.com

    With the country turning away from fossil fuels in favor of “green” alternatives like wind and solar, we’re facing a new issue: All of that energy is typically produced in remote areas, and transporting it to where people live means installing miles of transmission lines across the landscape. “You can’t get around this transportation problem, but people don’t want to acknowledge that,” one energy expert tells the New York Times. Many Minnesotans along the CapX 2020 route are painfully aware of the problem.
