The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has approved a site permit for Sherco Solar 3 project, Xcel Energy’s 250 MW solar facility in Clear Lake, Minn.
Upon completion, the projects are expected to have a 710 MW capacity.
The solar generation is set to replace much of the electricity produced by the coal-fired Sherco Generating Plant Unit 2 that ceased operations last year.
“Sherco Solar will help deliver more reliable, affordable and cleaner electricity,” says Katie Sieben, Minnesota Public Utilities Commission chair. “It’s a win for workers, consumers and the environment.”
Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in the fall and completed in 2026.
In addition to the solar facilities, the commission also previously approved a 10 MW battery pilot project at the site featuring an iron-air battery with 100-hour storage capacity.

Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.
I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)
Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
“Republican Patriots” writes: Howard Stern once again reveals the contempt so many in the entertainment elite hold for everyday Americans. He claims not to hate President Trump himself, but openly declares his hatred for those who support him, calling them stupid and saying he has no respect for them. This kind of arrogant dismissal shows how out of touch these Hollywood types have become with the hardworking people who built this country.
I’ve got news: contempt for Trump supporters is hardly limited to “these Hollywood types.” The vast majority of Americans–especially at this point–are neither greedy pigs nor hateful morons. We respect human rights and rule of law.
