A CivicMedia/Minnesota production
How much is too much? We continue our discussion of the volatile Midtown
Eco-Energy Project, this week concentrating on air emissions - their
composition and their cumulative impact on Minneapolis' Phillips and
surrounding neighborhoods. Also, has Mayor Rybak begun to distance himself
from this project? We'll continue to examine the politics behind the
opposition most of the area's elected officials are turning into policy.
Is this an innovative biomass energy generator in the making? Or yet another
polluting facility among many in the city's already suffering core
neighborhoods? Might this idea be better considered for another venue? Or is
burning any material a danger to populated areas?
What impact does such a heavy financial stake have on Midtown's owners'
lives and future security if this goes down? Does it really matter on
balance?
TTT¹s Andy Driscoll and Lynnell Mickelsen continue to discuss all sides of
the issues with key players and the reporter covering them.

In this day and age of an increasingly irrelevant mainstream media lost in
its own cacophony of hysteria and self-absorption, "Truth to Tell" is a
shining example of hope. Perhaps all is not lost. William Moyers
