Minnesota is poised for a decade of unprecedented investment and development with the state committed to 100 percent clean energy by 2040 and billions of dollars in federal funding available to build a more environmentally friendly economy.
The Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Joe Biden in August 2022, contains $369 billion in federal funding for clean energy and other state efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Now, local officials and advocates are fighting to ensure that Minnesota is in the best position to move forward without leaving behind communities of color and low-income residents.
