Xcel Energy plans to build two substations in South Minneapolis, connecting them with high power transmission lines. Xcel says the new substations are essential to meet increased demand for electricity in the community and to replace an outdated distribution system. Residents in the Phillips neighborhood and advocates for the Midway Greenway want more answers before Xcel gets a green light from regulators. Among their questions:
• Are there alternatives to “huge, ugly” towers?
• How would the substations impact Little Earth’s new home ownership initiative?
• If transmission lines run above the Greenway, how would that affect future transit development?
• Do EMF emissions pose health risks?
• Have all options for conservation and alternative energy been explored?


During Thanksgiving week, the Midtown Greenway Coalition will hold a meeting with Xcel engineers and representatives from the most impacted neighborhoods to learn more about the electricity needs that the Hiawatha Project will address. For more information, call the coalition office at 612-879-0103.

The poor don't matter.
They built these towers near a school in a poor area of Fresno, CA and the kids climbed the towers and played under the wires.. Of course they weren't suppose to climb the towers but they were just too inticing.

I'm from Fresno Ca, and some of my friends went to Slater Elementary school.
The kids at Slater Elementary School in Fresno, CA had the highest rate of cancer in all of the Central Valley.
