Why Federal Support for Clean Energy Matters to Minnesota
Why is clean energy important to Minnesota?
Clean energy reduces energy costs and saves Minnesotans money.
Instead of importing fossil fuels, we’re generating power right here at home. As our clean energy grows, we’ll rely less on volatile global markets for coal, oil, and natural gas—and have more access to economically stable energy sources we can count on.
Minnesotans value our environment and want to protect our way of life. Clean energy is healthier for our people and our planet. Minnesota’s clean energy economy is also creating local jobs and connecting us to a booming global industry.
Federal support helps make Minnesota’s clean energy future possible.
Threats to Minnesota’s clean energy future
Minnesota is a national leader in the transition to a clean energy future. With the 2023 passage of the 100% clean electricity by 2040 law, our state is poised for major growth in clean energy jobs, innovation, and opportunity.
However, Minnesota needs a stable partnership with the federal government to make its vision a reality. When federal policy creates roadblocks, it means fewer jobs, more pollution, and higher costs for Minnesota families and businesses.
