PROPOSED CARBON RULE: LET EPA KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
by Scott Handy, President / CEO
order to keep the grid up and running. It’s
not very comforting to think of a future Polar
Vortex without a healthy, robust fleet of coal
generation keeping us alive and warm.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been busy the past few years. Many,
if not most of EPA’s activities and new rules
have involved the electric utility industry.
We’ve covered many issues in this newsletter,
most notably EPA’s Regional Haze rule which
is still not settled in North Dakota. To date, the
Minnkota Power Cooperative family (that’s us)
has invested over $425 million to comply with
Regional Haze rules.
We’ve also discussed EPA’s 2013 rule limiting
carbon dioxide emissions from new sources
of electric generation, and over 1,000 CCEC
members filed comments with EPA expressing
their concerns. That rule is moving ahead, and
the result is that absent some sort of miracle
of science and economics, there will never be
another coal-based generation plant built in
our nation. That’s unfortunate, because coal
still provides the most stable, affordable and
reliable base load generation there is. It’s
important to remember that last winter’s Polar
Vortex required the output of many coal plants
that are scheduled to be decommissioned in
2 Highline Notes October 2014
A new proposed rule published by EPA on
June 2, 2014 sets carbon dioxide emissions
limits to be achieved by 2030, with interim
targets set for 2020, and applies to the
existing generation fleet. The rule is well over
600 pages long, with another 1,000 pages of
technical reference material. Three months
later we’re still trying to understand the impact
of the rule, but it was recently announced that
the public comment period has been extended
to December 1, 2014.
Frankly, we’re still at a bit of a loss as to how
to respond to the proposed rule. For sure,
there are lots of things not to like about it.
But in fairness, we also have to acknowledge
this time-honored Norwegian Lutheran bit of
wisdom: “it could be worse.”
Here’s what we think we know so far for just
a few of the many potential problems with the
proposed rule:
•There appears to be significant legal
problems with EPA’s authority in several
parts of the rule under the Clean Air Act.
•The deadline by which each state must
establish its State Implementation Plan
(SIP) is impossibly short given the huge
complexity of the rule.
•Each state has its own individual goal
to meet by 2030, setting up what one
industry leader has called a “food fight”
between states.
On the other hand, there may be a few less
www.kwh.com
onerous aspects for us here in North
Dakota:
•Among all the states, North Dakota has
the lowest carbon reduction goal to meet
by 2030.
•
North Dakota has already made
significant strides in lowering the
carbon dioxide intensity of our in-state
generation and it appears we will get
some “credit” for those efforts.
•
The North Dakota Department of
Health, which will probably play the
most significant role in drafting the SIP,
understands our industry well and has a
history of writing reasonable, attainable
rules.
There’s no way that a document of over 1,600
pages can be summarized in six bullet points,
and there’s no way the public can be expected
to file thoughtful comments on a rule so
complex by December 1.
The proposed rule will no doubt change
significantly before it’s finalized, which is
scheduled for June, 2015. We want EPA to
have a firm understanding of how the rule
could impact us here in North Dakota. It takes
a lot of energy just to survive in this part of
the world. EPA must take into consideration
the critical importance of reliable, affordable
electricity here.
Here’s what you can do: go to www.action.
coop and let EPA know that you have serious
concerns about this proposed rule, and that
reliability and affordability must be key
considerations. We suggest you customize your
message with the following points provided by
Minnkota Power Cooperative, or you can use

the comments provided. Either way, PLEASE take a
moment to let EPA know how you feel. EPA has an
obligation to consider all public comments, but they
can’t do that if we don’t comment.
Suggested points to make in your public comments
to EPA at www.action.coop:
1.This proposal is of particular concern because it
will give EPA a new role in dictating the nation’s
energy supply/generation. Not only will it direct
how cooperatives and other utilities generate
power but also how co-op member-owners
and other consumers use electricity for the
foreseeable future.

2.The cost of electricity directly impacts the quality
of life in the communities served by electric
cooperatives. While the EPA claims that its
proposal will raise electricity rates modestly, but
result in lower electricity bills for consumers, this
assumption fails to pass the common-sense test.
3.There are many variables that will impact the
final cost of this rule. However, preliminary
estimates indicate this rule could cost Minnkota’s
members between $10-50 million per year if the
EPA’s current version of the rule is enacted.

capital credits
These names are from capital credit checks that remain uncashed since distribution in February, 2014.
When you signed up to receive electric service from Cass County Electric, you became a member-owner of
a cooperative. Other businesses return profits to investors and stockholders. Not us. CCEC is a memberowned, not-for-profit cooperative, and we return capital credits to you, our member-owners. This year, the
co-op board authorized the distribution of $943,741 in capital credit refunds. This refund amount is based
on how much electricity a member purchased in 1988. Members get a return on their investment in the
cooperative, that’s the cooperative difference. It is your responsibility to keep the Cooperative informed of
your current address so that these retirement checks will reach you.
We need to hear from the person on this list or their authorized heir to disperse the capital
credits, please call 701-356-4400.

The Cowboy Co-op
THE HISTORY OF ELECTRIC CO-OPS
October is National Co-op Month, so it seems
fitting for Cass County Electric Cooperative
(CCEC) to look back to our beginnings and
reflect on the reasons for the creation of
electric cooperatives. This is a remarkable
story that demonstrates the exceptional
nature of the Americans who populated rural
America, then and now.
It’s hard to imagine what life was like outside
urban areas in 1935, especially through the
lens of our 21st century existence – news
taking days to reach you, dirt roads, manual
labor, and no electricity. Life for a large portion
of the American population was, for all intents
and purposes, a frontier life. Rugged people
made a living through strength, persistence,
and hard, often crushing, work, and they relied
on their neighbors when
things got tough. This way of
life seems alien to most of us
today, although a few are still
around who remember when
the lights first came on. While
95 percent of urban dwellers
had electricity, only one in
10 rural Americans was so
blessed.
It was in this same year
on May 11 when President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
signed executive order
7037 creating the Rural
Electrification Administration
(REA). Immediately, “cowboy”
cooperatives took the bit in
their teeth and started putting
together electric cooperatives
all across America, CCEC was
organized in 1937.
Some might think that socalled “cowboy co-ops”
would be restricted to the
West, but the case can be
made that every cooperative
was formed by the cowboys
of their area. These tough,
self-reliant,
hardworking,
10 Highline Notes October 2014www.kwh.com
honest, resilient men and women were willing
to take bold action to serve their interests and
create a better life for their families. Working
in your self-interest should not be confused
as selfish, however. These cowboys were
working together for their neighbors and for
their communities.
They got busy organizing electric cooperatives
and began the work of bringing light to rural
America. They dug holes by hand, walked
poles up into place to carry the electric lines,
all using just picks, shovels, ladders and
whatever else was handy. Most of us have
seen these poignant photographs, sepia
images of remote places with men scrambling
to light the rural landscape. Wires had to be
man handled into place on the poles and
cross arms. Creating the proper tension and
securing the conductors to the insulators
was all done by human strength and by sight.
When the lines were damaged either by man
or nature, it all had to be redone the same way.
Today these tasks are completed using digger
and bucket trucks assisted by mechanized
tensioners.
Safety equipment was non-existent in the
early days. The hard hat was gradually being
introduced, and the first job site to mandate
their use was the Hoover Dam where falling
debris was responsible for many deaths. Fire
retardant clothing wasn’t even a glimmer
in anyone’s eye, and climbing poles often
involved ladders rather than spikes and safety
belts. Many of these cowboys gave their lives
to bring the benefits of electricity to their
homes and communities. Presently, the work
remains dangerous and arduous, but modern
safety tools, clothing and practices reduce the
risk substantially.
In the days of the cowboy co-op, members
reported how much power they used and the
cooperative sent them a hand-prepared bill by
regular RFD mail. No automatic meter reading
systems or computerized billing options;
ledgers formed the permanent record of
transactions. Today, distribution systems are
controlled by smart devices, and cooperatives
can provide more consistent levels of service
and quality at a much lower cost. Automated
systems abound that improve the accuracy
of bills and simplify data management.
Technology continues to improve our ability
to control system operation and costs while
continuously improving quality and member
service.
Given all that has happened, some might
think the cowboy cooperative is a thing of
the past but this is far from true. The cowboy
cooperative is needed just as much in 2014
as it was in 1935. Changes are sweeping
through the electric utility industry, and if the
cooperatives are to retain the benefits that
electrification has brought to rural America,
bold, decisive action by a new breed of
cooperative cowboy will be required.
A new generation of members is coming onto
cooperative lines. Members who saw electric
co-ops as “saviors” by bringing in the simple
benefits of light, refrigeration, and other
appliances are fading into memory. We must
now wrestle with the perception of just being
another utility, quite a fall from the savior
ranks.
Community involvement is a staple of CCEC.
Today we are actively involved in local
Chamber of Commerce and civic organizations
and economic and rural development groups
as a means of improving where we live and
work beyond the simple provision of power.
As these efforts continue, we recognize that
community for many of our new members
resides on the Internet – a collection of
electronic representations of individuals rather
than meeting in person. New members expect
immediate response and limitless information.
It is a challenge worthy of a cowboy response.
Engaging our membership in the future will
be challenging, but so was bringing electricity
to rural America. While the tools differ, the
cowboy cooperative mindset and ethic have
not changed. The frontier life of today is
different indeed. In the 21st century, co-ops
will continue to work in their self-interests.
This means employees and members alike
pitching in and doing whatever they can
individually and collectively to be sure that the
interests of our community are well served
and that electricity remains affordable and
reliable. Just as it was in the 1930s, working in
our self-interest won’t be selfish, it will be for
the benefit of the families in our communities
– and that’s who we, here at CCEC, are here
to serve.
