Last week it was so full of algae and pollution you can't even walk in it. Whoever is ruining that part of our states of SD and MN should be sued and thrown in jail. If it's farm run-off, fine, they need to stop trashing the lakes and rivers. What is wrong with people, why is this tolerated???? By the way, Big Stone Lake is totally trashed.

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:07:13 +0000 http://minnesotaindependent.com/?p=39641#comment-35107 Where can we write to protest this? Who can we contact this? I'm totally against this new coal plant but how do we stop it? I'm in Minnesota and we don't need this power. We don't want it. We need to stop it! This area of South Dakota needs windmills. I was camping there last week and it was so windy every single day we almost lost our tent. SD is extremely windy. Why aren't they using the wind? We need to STOP this coal plant. If anyone has a writing campaign or anything else going on to protest this plant contact me. I'll do what I can to help. admin (at) futurismnow (dot) com These people don't care about the health or welfare of the people in the area! The mercury and pollution from these coal plants spreads across Minnesota and all the way to the east coast! Is anyone asking the people of Rhode Island what they think about this? Because they get the pollution from it, as does everyone east of us! Where can we write to protest this? Who can we contact this? I’m totally against this new coal plant but how do we stop it?

May the CEO'S & people responsible for the greed & pollution from this plant be paid back for the harm they will cause our children's health & the stealing from the pockets of every poor & elderly ratepayer that will give up daily necessities in order to pay there electric bills so these crooks can live in comfort.

I pray to our Dear Lord that this plant is not built. It will cost ratepayers 30% more in rate increases, something our poor & elderly can't afford & something these Utilities are not telling the public. All for the greed of selling power to the Chicago area. They also do not, I repeat do not want the transmission lines used for wind energy as they tell the public now a ploy to get support to get it built.OTP doesn't need the power as they say. There rate base is dwindling & there power plants put out very little power now. This spokeswoman for BSP2 must be a complete idiot if he thinks 20% cleaner is better for our enviroment.

Google Map it. Milibank is miles away from the proposed site, which is also on Big Stone Lake. Do some research! BS2 is NOT in MIlibank People. It is in the town of Big Stone, SD.
