Energy Costs and the Environment

We Can Grow Industry and Protect our Environment

I will take bold action to drive down energy costs and utility bills, protect our communities and ecosystems, build climate-resilient infrastructure, and reduce our carbon emissions. Utility costs are out of control due to a power shortage. Families are spending almost their entire budget just to pay the electric bill. It’s time for action, because people just can’t wait any longer. We can transform Minnesota’s energy picture to build new, cheaper, and cleaner energy generation, bring down families’ bills, and put the best state in the nation on track to hit our emissions and clean air goals.

In addition to rapidly building out cleaner and cheaper energy generation, we need urgent action to mitigate flooding, remediate brownfields, clean up Superfund sites, and remove lead and forever chemicals from our drinking water. I will fight to make our communities more flood resilient, replace lead service lines and water infrastructure, and take on environmental pollution.

We must protect what is left of our environment.

Addressing our environmental needs, lowering our energy costs, and making our energy grid cleaner is something we can accomplish on a bi-partisan basis. As your Senator, I will build a more prosperous, more affordable, and cleaner Minnesota.
