The Clean Heat Minnesota coalition is creating a state where everyone can heat and cook with clean energy. Our partners at Ayada Leads put air quality monitors in community member’s homes to track and visualize the impacts of gas use.🔌💡

Next month, CUB will submit comments at the PUC on a major issue: rate structures for data centers. This year, we helped pass nation-leading protections at the state Legislature to make sure ratepayers don’t pay for data centers’ enormous power demands.
