Boom Boom Smokestack

Wanna see something big go boom? I do! Saturday morning, June 28, a smoke stack near the High Bridge in St. Paul will be imploded at 7:30 AM. I read about it first on MPR.

The bigger story is that Xcel Energy has been converting a coal plant to natural gas, which will result in fewer emissions and make St. Paul a better place to live, even if the electricity is a tad more expensive. It is still insanely cheap relative to its utility!
