This year, the Public Utilities Commission will decide whether to approve Xcel Energy’s plan for the next fifteen years. Right now, that plan includes a proposal to build a massive fossil gas plant in Becker, Minn. We’re holding a People’s Hearing to make sure more community voices are heard before the June 25th public comment deadline. Join us on June 15th for a virtual hearing to testify on what future you want for our climate and communities in Minnesota.
Utility Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) function as a crucial lever in keeping Minnesota on the path to an equitable, affordable, zero-carbon electric grid. With three major Minnesota utilities filing IRPs in 2021, it’s shaping up to be a big year for clean energy! Join MN350, Sierra Club, Fresh Energy, the Citizens Utility Board, and the Institute for Local Self Reliance for a two-part series this June discussing alternative plans and why there is no need for Xcel’s proposed gas plant.
Demand for solar energy continues to accelerate—can this benefit beekeepers? Who’s doing it and how does it work? In the United States, farmers and other landowners have signed leases for more than 500,000 acres of new ground-mounted solar projects by the end of 2024, with up to 10 million more acres by 2050. Some of these projects are seeded with acres of diverse ground cover including clovers and other flowering species.
