Headwinds, MinnPost’s new pop-up energy newsletter, aims to make Minnesota readers more aware of the state’s changing energy supply at a critical time.
The state continues to make progress on its goal toward 100 percent carbon-free energy by 2040, but challenges remain. MinnPost contributor Brian Martucci, who in the past has written about energy for MinnPost as well as helping with city elections coverage last fall, will be your trusted guide to exploring Minnesota’s energy future over the next two months.
Martucci’s Headwinds energy newsletter – edited by MinnPost’s deputy editor Dan Haugen, former managing editor of Energy News Network – will explain energy trends and discussions while also providing historical context. If you sign up, you’ll learn about things like:
- How Minnesota has incentivized wind and other carbon-free energy sources since the ’90s and early 2000s and where those efforts stand today
- How heavy industry is looking to reduce emissions and save money
- Why lower-carbon solutions within agriculture are getting farmers’ attention
- How energy consumption by data centers will affect energy supply and Minnesota electricity consumers
While we know some of you would sign up for an ongoing energy newsletter, our hope is to give you some great explanatory journalism without a long-term inbox commitment. We hope that means you’ll make an effort to read and learn more about this important topic.
