[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 295737, member: 2369"] The PSC can’t make GRE operate the plant at a loss. Since wind comes before coal that is what is making coal cost more and no longer profitable. Changing that rule is the only way. It wasn’t so bad when wind was a compliment to coal and help meet the increased demand. Now that it is replacing coal we need to jump off this wind train. It is going to be less reliable and cost more in the long run. Banning wind in ND is the only way to help curb but not stop coals decline. It’s the wind farms owned by the coops that we need to worry about. They can increase their rates if they are not making enough money therefore costing us more. We are screwed once coal is gone and we have no alternative. The wind farms owned by private companies are a bad investment. If they were a good investment they would be popping up all over the country and would have already replaced coal. [/QUOTE]
