Kathleen ---The Mean Green Intervening Machine

Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk is at it again.

Falk, feeling pressure from her green lefty base, is trying to keep power transmission lines from being built in her own backyard (Dane County). Never mind that Dane County's electrical demand grows on average by something like 7% a year. The Falkers don't want power plants in Dane County, they don't want transmission lines, they just want to be green and be wired in and culturally at the cutting edge - consuming energy at phenomenal rates doing it.

This is just like our Kathleen to obstruct after the horse is out of the barn. Remember her infamous opposition to the expansion of Highway 12 while fatality rates climbed and traffic counts soared?

I believe the "electric demand" projected rate is only 2.5% per year in Dane county until 2010.
