Tri-State Generation and Transmission tries hobbling LPEA's renewable energy options

Though this blog is dedicated to the Wolf Creek Watershed, once in a while a regional issue of importance to our future economy and biosphere's health comes along that's worth sharing over here.

I've submitted a column to the Four Corners Free Press for their July issue reporting on La Plata Electric Association's board of directors considering the forfeiture of their future negotiation rights on renewable energy projects to notoriously renewable energy hostile Tri-State Generation and Transmission.

Researching that column I came upon many informative articles that I didn't have the space to credit, so I've decided to collect the better ones and share a few key quotes from each for easy reference.  As for my 750 word column, I'll be posting it after the July issue of the Four Corners Free Press appears in the newsstands.
