ABOUT CAMP

• This plant would degrade recreational lake country near the Scenic Highway, exacerbate global warming, and pollute our air and water.
• Huge quantities of diesel fuel will be burned to mine and transport coal, to generate electricity that is not needed and which requires hundreds of miles of new transmission lines to the Twin Cities and beyond.
• A venture with a financial risk too high for the private sector to assume should not receive in excess of $50 million in public funding and $800,000,000 in federal loan guarantees.
• There are only 107 permanent jobs planned for this site, many of which require higher education and specialized training. The few jobs available to local residents do not offset the enormous environmental and financial costs.
• Electrical transmission lines, railroads, roads, and pipelines for water and natural gas should not be forced on private property owners through eminent domain granted for the benefit of a private corporation.
