Here's part of our new law that MN agencies want the Utilities Commission to ignore: “‘Carbon-free’ means a technology that generates electricity without emitting carbon dioxide.” §216B.1691, subd. 1(b). @amywestervelt @MaryHeglar @drvolts @KateAronoff @emorwee @robinsonmeyer 3/3

[Peter Wagenius @PeterWagenius]

Carbon free means _carbon free_. Can national experts help keep it real? Should burning trash & woody biomass be considered “carbon free” like solar and wind? @ClimateHuman @GlobalEcoGuy @DrBobBullard @mzjacobson @JacquelynGill @leahstokes @AukeHoekstra @hausfath @DoctorVive 2/3

[Peter Wagenius @PeterWagenius]

I❤️Minnesota getting credit for climate action, but @GovTimWalz is undermining the same law he brags about: 100% Carbon Free electricity by 2040. His agencies claim that burning trees and burning trash are “carbon free” even though both… emit carbon. 1/3 https://t.co/7JoaDIMxKH

Big thanks to our environmental champions for speaking the truth: "Regulatory capture is a systemic problem," said State Rep. Rick Hansen, who leads the House's Environment Committee. "We have work to do." #mnleg @reprickhansen

The Plaintiffs against housing in Minneapolis were at the Capitol yesterday. They're determined to oppose _last year’s_ bill. Plaintiffs also insist that passing a new bill, in a public process, is a sneaky move “by Minneapolis!” #mnleg

We’re spending time this week at #MCRC2023. We hosted a session on using Arts & Culture to catalyze climate action, and were thrilled to get dozens of folks from across the climate sector to reground themselves in the reasons why they do their work.

Here’s just a few.

The City of St. Paul is considering a proposal to expand electric vehicle (EV) spots in new residential and commercial parking lots. This move would make it easier for renters to own EVs, which can be a challenge for many.
