Letters to the editor: Letter correction

Last week I submitted an opinion piece to the Pine Knot about a bill in the MN Legislature:, Senate File 421/House File 239. I have since discovered that I made a mistake about one of my assertions.

After reading the bill again I realized that our tax dollars are not paying for infrastructure to turn toxic confinement animal manure into un-natural biogas. Instead, the cost of infrastructure for turning that huge volume of toxic confinement animal manure into un-natural gas would be funded through utility rate hikes, which is even worse. If tax money were funding the infrastructure cost, it would be a one-time event. Rate hikes imposed by multibillion dollar utility corporations would last forever.
