ST. PAUL, MN  (KELO.com) — The 100% Clean Energy Bill passed Minnesota’s senate last week. The bill, awaiting a decision from the governor, would require utility companies to transition to 100% carbon-free energy by 2040. The bill does have protections for marginalized communities to ensure they see benefit, not harm, from the transition. A signature from Governor Walz would include Minnesota with ten other states committing to 100% clean or renewable energy.
