Great work from West Central Initiative helping rural towns w/ energy independence & energy savings from #solar. @SolarNeighbors @Mn_SEIA startribune.com/these-rural-mi…

Community #solar is working in MN w/ over 900 MW of clean energy, $1.67B in benefits to MN & 34,000+ subscribers. BUT MN Senate Energy Bill would end it. Let your legislators know you oppose this act.solarunitedneighbors.org/a/savecommunit…

Here’s what American #solar achieved in 2024. Repealing energy tax credits could slow this progress. Minnesota’s solar future depends on it. Take action: Tell your rep not to derail American energy dominance. buff.ly/wXShVTV

Community #solar delivers energy savings to low income folks. @MNCERTs @MN_CEF & @MnSustainable partnered to get Cimarron Manufactured Home Park residents community solar. #mnleg must keep this program @mnhouseDFL @SenateDFL @MNIPL @SolarAccess @ilsr cleanenergyresourceteams.org/story/communit…

🚨BREAKING: Protesters just stormed the Rayburn Building during a Congressional hearing on Medicaid cuts. Chaos in the halls. Shouting, chanting, arrests threatened. This is what happens when you try to gut healthcare for millions while pretending it’s “fiscal responsibility.” People aren’t staying silent anymore. They’re flooding the halls of power — because these cuts aren’t about budgets, they’re about cruelty.

There is a "cost shift" myth pushed in CA to scale back rooftop #solar & net metering. In fact rooftop solar saves everyone $. Now that same tactic is being pushed at the #mnleg canarymedia.com/articles/solar…

Net metering for solar makes electrical power generation more democratic minnesotareformer.com/2025/05/13/net…

Michael Kaldenberg helped his Newton, Iowa #church go solar. This shows how federal solar investments can benefit nonprofit organizations, like churches. Tag your legislators like @RepMMM and urge them to #Protect25D. (From our sister organization SUN Action)

Sen. McEwen is on the Senate Floor now defending community #solar. She lays out why we need it now more than ever. People of MN and @GovTimWalz admin support community #solar! @votesolar @MEPartnership @SolarNeighbors @Mn_SEIA @ilsr

Despite Federal Challenges, Two Leading Solar Advocates Are Continuing Their Forward Push insideclimatenews.org/news/08052025/…

Out of control utility spending drives California's electricity affordability crisis, causing a major cost shift from consumers to #monopoly utility shareholders, analysis finds: vist.ly/3n4632z

Monopoly utilities want to cheat #solar owners out of fair credit for solar they put on the grid. They push a "cost shift" myth CA legislators & regulators bought into & its been devastating. #mnleg @votesolar @melissahortman @JohnMarty @SolarNeighbors sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

@HennepinEnviro Awesome event & also a good article in the @strib too startribune.com/want-a-cheaper…

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Reuse Ride this past Saturday. There's still time to participate in the Salvage Crawl. Reuse and reduce waste, shop local and win prizes! ow.ly/qEfY50VNNtT #SalvageCrawl #Reuse #SmallBusiness #NationalHomeImprovementMonth

THKS for this good work @mnhouseDFL and for standing up for MN's community #solar program. MN's program is nation leading & wouldn't exist without your leadership. @Mn_SEIA @votesolar @SenateDFL @melissahortman @Jamiemlong @PattyAcomb @MEPartnership @SolarAccess @SolarNeighbors

Happy Arbor Month! Nearly 10,000 tree seedlings have been given away in the last two weeks. he seedlings bring us closer to the climate-action goal of planting 1 million trees by 2030. Thanks to all who planted seedlings and to the foresters who gave them out. #UrbanForestry

Community solar makes up 60% of our solar in the state & @MNCommerce projects it will bring in $3 Billion in net profits. Great piece by @johnffarrell in the Strib. #mnleg @melissahortman, @Jamiemlong, @mnhouseDFL, @SenateDFL, @GovTimWalz, @epmurphymn startribune.com/opinion-minnes…

Opposition to killing community #solar is wide & deep. Ltr from Monticello Public Schools says "the impact of sunsetting the current model has significant financial implications for public institutions- especially school districts." #mleg @votesolar assets.senate.mn/committees/202…

MN #CommunitySolar program is nation leading BUT killing it is in #mnleg Senate Energy Finance Bill. @johnffarrell in @strib says why this is a BAD idea. Looking to @mnhouseDFL @SenateDFL @GovTimWalz  to keep MN a #solar leader startribune.com/opinion-minnes…

Minnesota’s #CommunitySolar Garden (CSG) program is a game changer for both residents and businesses! With CSGs, Minnesotans can save on their energy bills, strengthen the grid, and support an equitable energy future. Hear from a local Minnesotan on their experience. ⤵️

Thx to @sallyjos of Bluestem Prairie for getting the word out about #mn leg bill to gut net metering for rural & small town MN. Rural homeowners & small businesses deserve the same benefits for going #solar as those in Xcel territory. @ilsr @votesolar bluestemprairie.com/bluestemprairi…
