Regulators approve Xcel Energy wind power plans

Why wont regulators let us drill for oil up there in ND? What about more nuclear power? Why wont that ever be approved? Its much cleaner and safer for the environment than coal!

coal and oil is the answer.

Its cheap and reliable energy while windmills and solar are expensive and not dependable

Current alternative energy supply is about 1% of the total energy supply. An increase of 10% of 1% is 1.1%. What's the ROI of this zillion dollar project?

How many degrees will it make the planet colder than what it already is?

It's expensive to go green.

There will be a 10% increase in 'renewable' energy for Xcel, and and a 15% increase in our electric bills to pay for it. What a boondoggle.
