Excelsior Energy’s Mesaba Energy Project will not be on the docket for Thursday’s Public Utilities Commission meeting. The PUC had been expected to rule on two key aspects of the proposed coal gas plant, but Excelsior asked for and received a delay.
Why? Some mumbo jumbo about an appeal to a previous administrative decision.
The truth? Either …
1) Excelsior has reason to believe that a more favorable decision for them can be achieved in the future through political gamesmanship.
2) They are in deep trouble and know that a devastating decision will come down the next time the PUC rules.
Maybe it’s both, but I forecast a battle Royal over this wasteful boondoggle (a project that, in the end, will not produce jobs or power) this summer. The amount that the public doesn’t know about this company and its project is vast. When we answer some of the questions, as I and others seek to do, I don’t think this project can or should proceed.
