Key issues for South Dakota PUC
Frank Kloucek is dedicated to addressing the most pressing concerns for the people of South Dakota. Discover his vision for a fair and prosperous future for all residents.
Data Centers and Growing Power Demand
Frank believes South Dakota’s energy and water resources should serve families, farms, small businesses, and local communities first — not massive data centers that could strain the grid, drive up utility costs, or consume limited resources without enough public benefit. As Public Utilities Commissioner, Frank would demand full transparency, local input, and a clear accounting of who pays for the infrastructure these projects require. He opposes any data center development that leaves South Dakotans with higher bills, fewer resources, or less control over their own communities.
Carbon Pipelines and Eminent Domain
Frank believes South Dakota farmers, landowners, and rural communities should never be pushed aside for pipeline projects that threaten private property rights, local control, or long-term safety. As Public Utilities Commissioner, Frank would oppose pipelines and demand transparency, accountability, and full respect for the people whose land and livelihoods are directly affected.
