We received more than 6,300 postcards to Minnesota legislators, asking them to keep Minnesota's promise of 100% clean energy by 2040. Our policy associate, James Lehner, delivered those messages in person at the Capitol.
Paraquat, a weed killer, is already banned in 70 countries, but not in the United States. A new bipartisan bill in the Minnesota Senate would end the use of paraquat in Minnesota.
There is no safe level of lead consumption. But lead water service lines remain a persistent problem in Minnesota. Our own James Lehner spoke at the House and Senate Capital Investment Committees on the importance of this funding.
We know renewable energy sources are not just cleaner but cheaper because our neighbors are seeing it reflected in their energy bills. The states in our region that are using the most wind and solar are the ones with the lowest electricity rates. Minnesota is on our way there as well. Today, more than half of our electricity comes from clean sources.
