The transition to clean energy is going to happen. The only question is if the United States will lead the transition or follow behind China. Projects like this show that clean energy just makes good sense — even in cold states like ours.

Winona Area Public Schools secured $5.5 million in federal tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act for installing the energy-efficient system.
Even better, the geo system will pay for itself with its energy savings.
The system regulates the school temperature by harnessing the earth’s natural heat as energy to keep the building warm in the winter + cool in the summer.
It’s a cheaper way to heat/cool the school, doesn’t tie them to the ups and downs of a global oil/gas market and is clean, American-made energy.
Two of Winona’s public elementary schools installed something great. It’s nerdy, so bear with me…

Thank you to the staff and faculty for showing me the new geothermal systems!

Just let women talk to their own doctors and make their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care.
Even though OBGYNs and medical researchers agree it’s safe to prescribe via telehealth and deliver via mail!
Even under the now-halted FDA policy, patients still had to talk to their provider before getting medication for an abortion.
This just bans telehealth appointments because anti-choice politicians want to make it as inconvenient and difficult as possible to get mifepristone.
We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further.
Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.
Minnesota and countless other states have proven how we can safely decriminalize and regulate the cannabis industry. Long overdue for the federal government to take a page out of that playbook.

Last week, the U.S. Senate passed a devastating bill that will undo protections for the Boundary Waters. Listen to this feature on NPR's All Things Considered featuring Explorers Amy and Dave Freemans and @smith.senate.gov discussing what this means for the wilderness.

A good time for a reminder that locking people up for low level marijuana offenses doesn’t solve anything and our federal laws need to catch up with the times
The fight for the Boundary Waters isn’t over, it just looks a little different now. We will not give up. That would play right into their hands.
Losing hope is exactly what they want us to do. While the vote against the Boundary Waters is fresh on our minds, the work continues.
Headed to Greater Minnesota now to keep up the fight. We have so much to do to tackle corporate greed in areas like housing and health care.
