Change in the Future for Energy Production

Crow Wing Power is facing more demand for electricity and less than a clear source from to get it. Spokesman Rick Peterson said the co-op is looking at a number of different sources as well as upgrading existing transmission lines and making current power plants cleaner and more efficient. Peterson said more coal-fired plants will be needed as well as cleaning up existing plants. He said the only non-carbon electricity producing plants not used to its potential is nuclear power which have become safer and much more efficient in the last two decades.
