As residetns gear up to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, CEEM's Executive Director Gregg Mast is blasting the horn for Minnesota's clean tech and sustainability gains. With a nod to "historic firsts" like the federal Inflation Reduction Act and Minnesota's 100% Clean Energy by 2024 bill, Mast hails the progress as the fruits of diverse coalitions coming together.
The recent rollout of Minnesota Energy Alley and the launch of Grid Catalyst's 2024 Demonstration Cohort, which Mast says is setting Minnesota on the global stage for climate ambitions and clean tech innovation, speaks volumes. "We've invited local industry experts to discuss trends from the 2024 Minnesota Energy Factsheet," Mast said in a statement obtained by Clean Energy Economy Minnesota, underlining Minnesota's commitment to a green future.
