We’re hearing more and more about energy – both the type we use and how we create it – and how energy usage and production impacts the planet and each of us.
There are wide-ranging opinions on what type of fuel Minnesota should allow to run our cars, trucks, and farm equipment. Some say only electricity. Some say only fossil fuels and biofuels
There’s room for all. There’s room for and a need to improve how clean those fuels are. And there is a way to do it without increasing prices at the pump.
The Future Fuels Act would allow Minnesota to figure out the best way to reduce carbon in our transportation fuels in our state to support the way we live. Because the type of energy needed in Greater Minnesota is different than what’s needed in the Twin Cities. And all of that is different than what’s needed in other states.
We can both use cleaner energy and meet the unique needs of a far northern, largely rural state. That’s what the FFA will do. Will you join us?
