The BlackRock Situation Just Got Worse...

Description

BlackRock is trying to buy Minnesota Power, which provides power to over 150,000 people. Why? They want to profit off of the soaring electricity demand from AI data centers. If they win, and if it's profitable, your power company could be next. If you live in Minnesota: Take action by emailing the Minnesota PUC about the BlackRock takeover at consumer.puc@state.mn.us and learn more about the problem of private equity at pestakeholder.org/energy. For actions from the general public, contact Governor Walz by submitting a comment via this form https://mn.gov/governor/connect/contact-us/contact-form.jsp or calling his office at 651-201-3400 with a simple message: don’t let this deal get approved by the MN PUC. ----- More Perfect Union is an Emmy-winning, nonprofit newsroom whose mission is to build power for working people.
