Love the energy, Peggy, but right now Duluthians need you to refocus it away from campaigning for Senate and use it to yank Tim Walz away from the brink of a MASSIVE mistake in the form of "BlackRock buyout of Allete / MN Power"

This is an important article, as i think it's the first time i've seen these two things intersecting in such a public way. Jigar Shah makes the case that, for a small reduction in rate of return (0.13% is what i am told), it's OK to sell our infrastructure to private equity firms.
Allete sale would help fund clean energy investment for Minnesota
The proposed sale would inject a massive infusion of private capital into Minnesota Power, capital guided by a long-term perspective rather than short-term market pressures.
