(AP) - A National Transportation Safety Board report says a pilot killed in a southeastern North Dakota crash two years ago lost control of the plane in a thunderstorm.
Bob Nelson, of Battle Lake, Minn., died on Aug. 24, 2006, when his plane went down in a slough 10 miles northwest of Kulm. The wreckage was discovered some six weeks later.
The NTSB report says the 60-year-old Nelson flew into a thunderstorm that was "intensifying around the accident time" and resulted in "loss of aircraft control."
Nelson was flying from Bismarck to Fergus Falls, Minn. when the plane went down.
The NTSB says Nelson did not request any weather briefings before the flight.
A preliminary NTSB report said earlier that Nelson had been flying his single-engine Piper Cherokee at altitudes between 200 feet and 500 feet before the crash.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. wants to build a small electric power plant that would use waste heat to generate electricity.
North Dakota's Public Service Commission is considering the request. State regulators will wait to see if anyone wants a public hearing on the proposal.
Commission President Susan Wefald says the plant would be located near Glen Ullin, in Morton County about 50 miles west of Mandan.
It would use heat given off by a Northern Border pipeline compressor station to create up to 7.5 megawatts of electricity.
The compressor station itself is run by natural gas. Its purpose is to force natural gas into the pipeline and increase the amount of gas the pipeline may carry.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Otter Tail Power Co. electric customers have been paying sharply higher bills in recent months. But North Dakota's Public Service Commission says the price spike is ending.
The commissioners say fuel cost adjustments on the June bills of Otter Tail's North Dakota ratepayers will be smaller.
Commission President Susan Wefald says a customer who uses 750 kilowatt-hours of electricity each month will see a decline of $7.65.
The increase happened because South Dakota's Big Stone power plant was shut down for maintenance late last year.
Big Stone supplies electricity for Otter Tail's system, and the utility had to buy more expensive power elsewhere. The cost was passed along to customers and spread out over four months.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Rookie quarterback Kyle Wright has been waived by the Minnesota Vikings, who reduced their roster to the 80-player maximum ahead of training camp.
More shuffling could come before the team reports to Minnesota State, Mankato, on July 23. But the Vikings needed space for their five draft picks, none of whom have yet to sign a contract.
Free-agent defensive backs Marcus Griffin and Travis Key were waived earlier this week. The NFL previously allowed teams to have more than 80 players in camp, using exemptions for those who participated in the spring developmental league in Europe, which has been shut down.
Wright had few opportunities with Tarvaris Jackson, Gus Frerotte, Brooks Bollinger and rookie John David Booty ahead of him on the depth chart.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Mike Miller says he's always thought of Minneapolis as "home" when it comes to rooting for professional sports teams. Now, he's a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves following an eight-player trade last week.
The Mitchell native's NBA career has taken him to Orlando, Memphis and now the Twin Cities.
Timberwolves vice president Kevin McHale says Miller's accuracy from 3-point range will be important, but that he brings other things to the team by spreading out the defense and making plays.
Miller averaged 16.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and shot 43 percent from 3-point range for Memphis last season.
