2018-2021 - City Electeds on Energy

In early 2017, we gave all Minneapolis city council and mayoral candidates a questionnaire about our local energy future. The discussion elevated the incredible influence energy - and the decisions made about it in the crucial next years - has on housing stability, cost of living, community wealth, economic opportunity, health, and climate resilience.
