Pioneer Editorial: Laying the clean energy groundwork
We all want a clean environment and clean, efficient energy production. We also want affordable and abundant energy. Sometimes the two goals may seem in opposition to each other.By Bemidji Pioneer Editorial Board , June 21, 2009
Forum editorial: At last, a break from cool, wet weather
Dare we hope it? The weather gurus expect the weekend to be, well, like summer. After days of unseasonably cool, wet and cloudy weather, the sun will shine and warm the air to near 80 degrees, the forecasters say.June 12, 2009
Editorial - Tip a hat to a dairy farmer this month
It’s easy to take for granted that cold jug of milk in your fridge, or where that wonderfully cheesy topping for your pizza came from.June 10, 2009
Forum editorial: Minnesotans renew the ritual of fishing opener
The fishing season opener in Minnesota is almost like a holy day: A kind of sacredness is attached to it. For serious anglers, it’s the day when winter turns to spring, when anticipation becomes reality, when the bob of a boat on a windy lake invigorates the winter-dulled soul.May 08, 2009
As others see it: Minnesota takes big biodiesel step
Minnesota government leaders and Gov. Tim Pawlenty can take pride in moving Minnesota forward with a strategic energy policy that is leading the country.By The Free Press of Mankato , May 07, 2009
Pioneer Editorial: Agreement buys time for plant
We should always become concerned when government decides what’s best for the private sector and intrudes in its operation. But in the case of legislation that would mandate Ainsworth Lumber Co. to keep its closed Bemidji plant in operating shape could mean the difference to hundreds of workers in the Bemidji area, as well is timber industry suppliers and vendors.By Bemidji Pioneer Editorial Board , May 07, 2009
Pioneer Editorial: Officials say pork is still safe to eat
This week’s potential pandemic outbreak of swine flu has all of us thinking about measures to avoid getting sick, chief among them canceling for now trips to Mexico where the illness has been deadly for nearly 200 people and caused thousands of people to become ill.By Bemidji Pioneer Editorial Board , May 01, 2009
OUR OPINION: In search of rural prosperity
Grand Forks is a college town and sits at the intersection of two four-lane highways. But attracting new businesses still is tough. And if economic development is a challenge in Grand Forks, it can seem almost impossible in rural North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Especially because the Great Plains lacks both mountains and beachfront, the “scenic amenities” that help drive rural growth.By Tom Dennis for the Herald , April 27, 2009
OUR OPINION: Stop hiding terms of wind leases
A confidentiality clause is so powerful and so transparently in the sole interest of the wind-power industry, not the landowner, that it really has no business in a negotiated contract.April 21, 2009
OPINION: You can fight Mother Nature
“Why do people continue to build their homes so close to the river?” writes a commenter on a flood story in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. Asks another in a Minneapolis Star Tribune comment: “Why do people continue to rebuild in the same area that are likely to flood? Why fight Mother Nature?” Let’s dispatch those criticisms once and for all.March 24, 2009
Forum editorial: No need to reopen farm bill
Congress should not reopen the 2008 farm bill simply because President Barack Obama wants to put a subsidy cap on big farmers. One idea tossed out was ending direct payments to farmers with annual incomes of $500,000 or more. The president mentioned caps in his address to Congress last week, raising eyebrows among farmers, agribusiness organizations and farm-state senators.March 05, 2009
