WE's Rates Going Up--Again

We've mentioned this atrocity a few times.

 A community forum held by Robin Energy Storage turned heated Tuesday night — as Wheatland residents came face to face with the company behind a proposed 200-megawatt lithium-ion battery energy storage facility that would be built on farmland near homes and a grade school....

You can see a rendering of the facility at the link.

Robin Energy is the outfit chosen by Chicago-based Wisconsin Energy (WE) to build the battery-storage farm.  When it is built, WE will go to Evers' Public "Service" Commission and obtain another rate increase.  Oh, yes--it will be built.  Just ask the very same Public "Service" Commission.

Lithium-ion batteries do have that spontaneous-combustion reputation.  But never mind.  It's only a school.  The students should be happy that they are saving the environment, ya'know, even if they're dead.
