Episode Details

Minnesota Powers new wind farm in Morton County, North Dakota, seeks approval from regulators. The project aims to generate 100 MW of clean energy through 50 turbines on leased private land, with partners including Great River Energy and Otter Tail Power Company. The application has sparked controversy due to plans for new transmission lines, including those built under eminent domain, which has led to strong pushback from local landowners concerned about stray voltage, property values, and health risks. Company officials argue the benefits, such as reliable power and economic boosts, outweigh the downsides. Regulators are reviewing the proposal, with more hearings ahead, and a decision could impact future clean energy projects in the region.
