The BlackRock Situation Just Got Worse...

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.
