Minnesota has an ambitious goal — to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. That’s what scientists say is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
To get there, Minnesotans will need to completely rethink energy use in our homes.
The natural gas and propane that we use to heat our buildings contributes significantly to global carbon emissions.
That’s why a portion of the billions of dollars in new federal and state funding for the clean energy transition will help people reduce energy use in their homes and go toward swapping in new electric heat pumps and other appliances.
MPR News correspondents Kirsti Marohn and Dan Kraker guest host part two of a three-day series expanding on the reporting they’ve done with MPR News colleagues in our series Getting to Green.
Find out what can you do right where you live to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and learn about the growing number of rebates and incentives that will be available to help make those changes.
Guests:
Michelle Gransee is deputy commissioner of energy resources at the Minnesota Department of Commerce,
Rebecca Olson is the senior director of residential and community energy at the nonprofit organization Center for Energy and Environment.
Support for this series is provided by the Poynter Institute.
