SAINT PAUL, MN – On Tuesday, January 5, nearly 40 Minnesotans will testify at an informational hearing of the Energy and Climate Finance and Policy Division, chaired by Rep. Jean Wagenius (DFL—Minneapolis). The hearing will focus on legislation that would increase the proportion of energy that must come from renewable sources and set target dates by which these goals must be achieved.

Due to substantial interest, the committee will meet twice in order to hear from everyone who wishes to testify.

They will be joined by environmental advocacy groups, scientific organizations, faith groups, public health professionals, energy producers and utilities, and interested citizens.
