Minnesota's electric utilities have been moving away from burning fossil fuels toward more renewable energy sources at a rapid pace.
They’ve shuttered coal-fired power plants that emit greenhouse gases and commissioned new solar and wind farms.
Last year, renewable resources, including wind, solar, biomass and hydropower, generated the largest share of Minnesota's electricity, nearly 30 percent.
But clean energy advocates and Gov. Tim Walz’s administration say the transition isn't happening quickly enough to address the looming crisis of climate change. Minnesota is not currently on track to meet its goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions. |
