I agree with Dean Carlson. All the campaign signs that were in my yard have been down for a while, but I do still have my Clean Energy Now! sign out front. That will stay in place until Xcel Energy gets to work on renovating their Riverside plant to run on natural gas instead of coal.
Speaking of which, the Clean Energy Now! coalition is sponsoring a People's Forum regarding the Metro Emissions Reduction Project on Tuesday, November 19th. Here are the details: ----- Clean Energy Now! People's Forum Topics: Xcel Energy's Metro Emissions Reduction Project (MERP), and your other environmental concerns! Logan Park Community Center 690 13th Avenue NE, MPLS Broadway at Monroe Street NE 6:30 PM refreshments 7:00 PM forum begins Take the opportunity to discuss your neighborhood's environmental concerns with your new and old elected officials. This is the day to let them know what are: YOUR and YOUR neighborhood's environmental priorities! Why should MERP be a top priority for us, and elected officials, to act on now? After weighing in health risks, what will converting from coal burning to natural gas, as proposed in MERP, save our families and our environment? For more information call Andrea Kiepe at (612) 623-3666 ----- So if you care about getting cleaner energy and cleaner air, I sure hope to see you there. In the meantime, I'll be thinking about what kind of sign I'm going to put up for the Twins. Maybe a "Congratulations, Torii!" sign since he was awarded his second Gold Glove today.
