Dear Friends of
Green Green Water,
We are excited to announce that Green
Green Water will have its Broadcast
Premiere on Monday, April 7, 2008 at 8pm on
WDSE, the Duluth PBS Affiliate. Check
out the schedule here.
This location for broadcast is very timely,
as
Duluth
legislator, Senator Yvonne Prettner-Solan and
District 08A (Carlton, Pine, and St.
Louis Counties)
Representative Bill Hilty,
just brought forward legislation in the MN
Legislature to overturn last year's momentous
law that requests Manitoba Hydro to file
annual reports on the northern
hydro-impacted communities. A request
that Manitoba
Hydro has still not fulfilled. This law, if
followed, creates a public record of what is
occurring as a result of Manitoba Hydro's dam
system and is basic information that
consumers should have in order to make
informed decisions regarding their power
purchase.
Although
the U.S. media has missed this story for the
most part, you
can read a recent CBC article at this
link. Our citizens have the right to
know the
impact of their power consumption.
Please
ask your legislator in the house and senate
to vote "NO" on Senate File 3520 and House File
3879.
Another amazing coincidence in this whole
thing is that Minnesota Power has just signed
a 250 Megawatt purchase agreement with
Manitoba Hydro. We couldn't think of a
better place than Duluth to hold the
Broadcast Premiere of
Green Green
Water.
We continue to seek broadcast in other
places, so please take a moment and
contact
your local PBS affiliate
and request that
they air
Green Green Water.
Thank you again for your continued support of
Green Green Water! We have some very
exciting announcements coming up later this
spring and look forward to sharing more
soon!
