Green in the Hood


Dear Xcel Energy,
please do not put 115-kilovolt above ground transmission lines through my neighborhood. We have enough things to fight, please don't make us fight you.
Because, we will--we'll fight like only poor people with nothing to lose can.

Not to mention that there seems to be quite a bit of scientific evidence that these above ground power lines increase the risk of leukemia.
Here's a really interesting report by the world health organization about a community that fought these lines in their area, and subsequently changed state law to ban them.

Please go to the open houses on Thursday of this week to voice concerns to Xcel.

Thursday, noon–2 p.m.
Thursday, 5 p.m.–7 p.m.
Tell them to bury them.
