editorial CLEAN POWER PLAN GETS REPEALED

by Marshal Albright, President/CEO

required reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The plan carried the potential to increase electric rates 40-60 percent to cover the cost of investing in alternative power sources. This would have stranded millions of dollars of investment in emission control systems at existing plants.

For the past two years, we have raised serious concerns over the potential impact of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan (CPP). With a different administration in Washington, there is hope for a better plan, one that is less costly to implement and less burdensome to the economy.

Background – a consumer-friendly approach to replacing the CPP The CPP would have severely affected many electric cooperatives and their members. According to Scott Pruitt, current EPA administrator, the EPA under the Obama administration exceeded its statutory authority in designing the rule, which would have forced the premature closure of power plants to meet the significant

The legal status of the Clean Power Plan is dubious – a fact that is reinforced by the Supreme Court’s decision to impose a judicial “stay” on the rule. Developing a replacement regulation that follows EPA’s longstanding interpretation of Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act would provide greater legal certainty to co-ops and other regulated electric generators.

The Trump Administration has taken positive steps to review the CPP, beginning with the president’s Executive Order directing the EPA to pull back the overall Climate Action Plan. EPA subsequently followed the order by 1) asking the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to hold both the 111(b) and 111(d) cases in abeyance and 2) moving a proposed rule through the interagency process to withdraw the CPP. On October 10, Administrator Pruitt signed a notice to repeal the CPP. Electric cooperatives support EPA moving quickly to complete a new rule as it is likely to take several years to complete this important work.

America’s electric co-ops need a workable replacement, one that protects reliability, minimizes undue economic impacts on members, provides utilities with clarity and a longstanding regulatory framework, allows utilities the time and resources needed to address changes, and adheres to EPA’s decades-long practice that technological or operational performance standards can be implemented at the source itself.

Long-term certainty and flexibility are essential for electric cooperatives.

Replacing the CPP with a commonsense, consumer-friendly regulation provides long-term advantages for co-ops and our member-consumers.

Such an approach creates a lasting regulatory framework without the government-mandated premature closure of power plants. It would prevent consumers from being saddled with the debt on those plants as well as the cost of replacing electric generation.

Electric co-ops appreciate that the Trump administration recognizes the need to revisit and re-vamp the current CPP. America’s electric cooperatives look forward to bringing a consumer-focused approach to our work with the administration as we seek to remain stewards of the environment and promote a healthy economy. With the proper policy approach, we can do both.

CCEC offices will be closed on Friday, November 10 in recognition of Veterans Day. 2 Highline Notes November 2017

November 2017 Highline Notes 3

An Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

“Fargo is unique in the business world because it’s big enough for growth, but small enough where everybody knows everybody.”

While our region is experiencing stunning growth, this certainly hasn’t always been the case. In the 1990s and early 2000s, this area was in the midst of a “brain drain,” the term used to describe the trend of students leaving after graduation.

Since those times, things have turned around, but why?

Greg Tehven, executive director & co-founder of Emerging Prairie, speaks at 1 Million Cups.

The arts and entertainment scenes have seen support and have grown more vibrant. Greater attention has been drawn to the local higher education institutions, partially as a result of national media attention drawn by successful research and athletics. A strong job market has offered work prospects to people who may have had to look elsewhere in previous decades.

Indeed, this area has become an oasis for technological ventures and innovation in what much of the rest of the nation likely considers to be a sparsely populated prairie. Due in part to thinkers and risk-takers who have taken it upon themselves to disperse myths of vacuity that surround our region and North Dakota as a whole, we’re becoming a bigger blip on the map.

Emerging Prairie, an organization devoted to bringing out the full potential of the Fargo-Moorhead 4 Highline Notes November 2017

www.kwh.com

community, is one of the groups at the head of this transformation. By giving entrepreneurs at all levels a stage to share and promote their ideas and by facilitating networking events to foster a strong entrepreneurial community, Emerging Prairie is the flag-bearer for the continued development of the local business climate and the outside perspective of it.

“Each time I travel, the perception of Fargo seems to be gaining more and more positive momentum,” says Greg Tehven, executive director and co-founder of Emerging Prairie.

The focus of the minds behind Emerging Prairie runs parallel to that of Cass County Electric Cooperative in many ways. Innovation and commitment to community are two of CCEC’s core values. Supporting organizations like Emerging Prairie and events like 1 Million Cups is one way of touting both values.

“Promoting a strong local entrepreneurial ecosystem to attract and retain thinkers and innovators to our region will simultaneously promote community culture and help drive economic development,” says Paul Matthys, CCEC vice president of member and energy services.

“This is ultimately good for all area businesses, CCEC included.”

North Dakota’s startup-friendly environment is becoming host to a great many entrepreneurial minds, and some of them are finding success.

CoSchedule, a Bismarck-based startup with a location in Fargo, is the creator of the web’s most popular marketing calendar. Ranked as the best business tool built by a startup on Entrepreneur.com, CoSchedule currently helps more than 9,000 marketing teams stay organized in more than 100 countries around the world. CoSchedule was ranked the fastest growing startup in North

Dakota—growth due in part to their unique offerings as an employer.

“While many people—particularly young professionals—opt to move to more urban areas to find jobs, that’s not an appealing option for everyone,” says Garrett Moon, CEO and co-founder of CoSchedule. “So out of frustration and a desire to stay put, we created jobs for ourselves.

And in doing so, we gave others a unique opportunity to do what they love and love what they do.”

Myriad Mobile, a Fargo-based mobile application development startup, has found Fargo’s unique and changing business environment to be advantageous.

“The community here is very supportive and helps people out,” says Ryan Raguse, Myriad Mobile co-founder and chairman. “I feel without the camaraderie found here, we wouldn’t have had the same opportunities in a different community. Fargo is unique in the business world because it’s big enough for growth, but small enough where everybody knows everybody.”

Examples like these are what Tehven says should be seen as a source of inspiration for other hopeful entrepreneurs.

“At times, it can be hard for some entrepreneurs and small businesses to dream big,” he says.

“We have tremendous resources in our community, yet we have to still believe in ourselves and the potential of our businesses. From my point of view, all of us need to look around and find local examples of organizations that were started near us and have made a massive impact.”

Seasonal Safety Tips As the holiday season approaches, we remind you to be safe around electricity and electrical devices. The potential for shocks and electrical fires skyrockets as holiday lights, guests, and homecooked meals begin filling the house. Keep these tips in mind and make sure you and your family stay safe: • Before use, examine all electrical decorations, lights, and extension cords for damage. Frayed or cut cords are a big risk for shock and fire and should never be used.

• Two’s a company, three’s a crowd – do not overload electrical outlets with too many appliances, lights, or decorations.

• Test your ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) to make sure they’re working to protect you.

• Keep space heaters at least three feet from curtains, beds, and bedspreads and never leave a space heater running unattended.

Be safe on the road, too! When winter weather strikes, road conditions can deteriorate quickly. Always heed the

travel advisories of local and national weather agencies.

If you ever lose traction and come into contact with power lines or electric equipment, these tips could save your life: • If you are able to drive away without damaging the line or poles, travel at least 40 feet away before exiting the vehicle. o If you are unable to drive away, remain in the vehicle! Call for help and warn others to stay away. o If you must exit because of fire or other safety reasons: • Jump clear of the vehicle. Do not let any part of your body or clothing contact the vehicle and the ground simultaneously.

• Land with your feet together and hop away in small steps to minimize the path of electrical current.

• Keep going until you are at least 40 feet away.

• Do not re-enter the area until emergency responders and the utility determine it is safe.

Keep space heaters at least three feet from curtains, beds, and bedspreads and never leave a space heater running unattended.

Animals & Education The Red River Zoo is a community staple in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Long heralded for its unique collection of cold weather animals, the zoo is much more than just an entertainment attraction. Behind the exhibits is the longstanding initiative to promote public education, especially of the sciences.

In fact, there is something going on at the zoo year-round. Camps are available during the spring and summer, but fall and winter offer unique learning opportunities, too. From celebrating scientists to exploring the ways animals change to prepare for winter, the learning doesn’t stop when the snow flies.

The zoo offers Pint Size Explorers classes, which are 90-minute sessions for children ages four to six. Parent’s Night Out sessions are for children ages four to 12 and take place from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Zoocation sessions for children in grades one through five last from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on days when school is out. With a variety of times and durations, there is a class for everyone at the zoo. Check redriverzoo.org for a current list of available sessions and topics.

In addition to the many in-house attractions, the Red River Zoo’s ZooMobile takes the animals to the people! For schools, daycares, senior centers, and other community groups, the ZooMobile can bring a small number of animals or animal artifacts out to a variety of audiences to teach about a number of topics.

Many of the zoo’s attractions are intended for children, but many guided tours and events throughout the year will appeal to audiences of all ages. The zoo can even make an impact in the classroom, as a variety of materials are available for teachers and educators to use.

Visit redriverzoo.org to learn more about all that the zoo has to offer. www.kwh.com

tech Samsung FlexWash and FlexDry

Too much laundry, not enough time.

How often is this problem a stark reality? Any chore that gets its own day (as in, “I’m wearing sweatpants and this shirt I’ve had since high school because it’s laundry day.”) is a chore that’s ripe for innovation.

When it comes to high tech tools aimed at making everyday tasks easier and more convenient, the realm of laundry hasn’t been left out.

Introducing the Samsung FlexWash and FlexDry. The FlexWash is a single washing machine unit that features two

separate washers—the standard front-load five-cubic-foot washer and the one-cubic-foot top-load washer. There are a few handy aspects to the dual-wash system.

For one, it requires only one water line, keeping the plumbing simple. Both washers can be run simultaneously and the water won’t mix, so you can wash delicates at the same time as the rest of your laundry without ruining them!

The FlexDry uses a similar concept—two drying compartments that can be run

www.kwh.com

simultaneously with different settings. The regular-sized compartment is a standard dryer, but the smaller top one is more like a drying rack.

On top of the flexibility of four total wash and dry compartments, the FlexDry system can be controlled via Samsung’s Smart Home app.

Start and stop cycles and monitor progress from anywhere through your mobile device. Next-gen laundry day has finally arrived!
