The good citizens of Missouri peacefully protested outside the Public Service Commission this week. The citizens are opposed to the plans of Chicago-based renewable energy company, Invenergy, to use eminent domain to run the high-voltage electric transmission Grain Belt Express Tiger Connector line through their properties.
The successful protest attracted lots of attention from the media.
Such as this story on KOMU. Maybe someone wants to ask Patrick Whitty at Invenergy who the other customers for 2500 MW of transmission capacity in Missouri might be, since his "39 cities" have only signed up to purchase less than 10% of the available capacity? Those 39 cities aren't going to generate enough revenue to build a $5B electric transmission line across 4 states. Can we apply a little common sense here?
And this story in the Fulton Sun. Isn't that gracious of Invenergy to "thank the citizens for their feedback?" What a bunch of lousy fakes!
And this one on KRCG. Short and to the point, heavy on the pictures.
And there are plenty more.
Too bad for Invenergy, who tried to hide or minimize the Tiger Connector project in recent press releases.... one of which got absolutely no media attention at all.
The cat is out of the bag now...
