Missouri PSC denies Grain Belt Express
The Missouri Farm Bureau says it is pleased the state Public Service Commission has denied a request for a transmission line to be built across northern Missouri.
Clean Line Energy Partners, based in Houston, had sought the permit for transmitting wind energy from farms between Dodge City, Kansas and Sullivan, Indiana. More than 500 Missouri landowners in eight counties, many of them farmers, would have been affected. The proposed power line project is called ‘Grain Belt Express.’
The Missouri Farm Bureau says it’s good that the PSC agrees no private company should be given the power of eminent domain.

Thank goodness. Private property should NEVER be sacrificed to private business and seldom to govt. It is never right. With WOTUS and other govt regulations we have so little control of our won property. This is a win for property rights in MO. In addition to the property right issue wind energy is a scam that is damaging to wild life. Many birds are killed by wind energy generators.
