That vacant steel plant in Hennepin

Currently Rock Island Clean Line (affiliate of Clean Line Energy Partners, based in Houston, Texas) has submitted a request to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) concerning a proposed transmission line which would proceed from wind farms from South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, through Iowa and through Bureau and Grundy counties in Illinois, to carry electricity eastward to the Chicago area and to states further east extending to Boston. Overhead high voltage current transmission lines proposed for Illinois have been met with opposition in Bureau County.
