(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesota leaders will use the state’s investment fund to influence the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The State Board of Investment met yesterday in St. Paul, with Governor Walz leading the discussion of expanding Minnesota’s clean energy investments. The board adopted a five-year plan that will direct about a billion dollars in state funding toward renewable energy and emission reduction. The governor said the state must protect public employee retirement funds by taking a measured approach toward future investments.
