Guiding principles to benefit people and nature, co-created by Fresh Energy, Friends of the Mississippi River, and The Nature Conservancy!

Aviation accounts for nearly 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United States, according to the U.S. EPA. With emissions from aircraft on the rise, federal and state governments are urgently seeking ways to reduce aviation industry emissions through low-carbon fuel pathways that can benefit communities, mitigate climate impacts, and drive business development.

To advance this work in Minnesota, Fresh Energy, Friends of the Mississippi River and The Nature Conservancy have released “Minnesota Sustainable Aviation Fuels Guiding Principles,” which provides a framework for the development, promotion, and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) that achieve climate, clean energy, ecological, and social and environmental justice goals.

The wide-scale adoption of lower-carbon fuel in the hard-to-electrify aviation industry would:

Significantly cut greenhouse gases from the largest source of emissions in the state, the transportation sector.
Bolster Minnesota’s rural economies and provide additional revenue streams for farmers.
Improve water and air quality, resulting in significant benefits for people, the environment, and Minnesota climate goals.

Fresh Energy, Friends of the Mississippi River and The Nature Conservancy have released these Guiding Principles at a critical inflection point for SAF in Minnesota.

Industry leaders are putting significant resources toward the rapid development of low-carbon aviation fuel, aiming to decarbonize flights while planning for massive business development in the coming decades. Meanwhile, state and federal policymakers are exploring new rules to incentivize this energy transition and usher in a new, lower-emissions era of aviation.

Clean Heat Minnesota coalition releases study mapping Minnesota’s most feasible, cost-effective path to building decarbonization!

In June 2024, the Clean Heat Minnesota coalition released a study that outlines the path for Minnesota to decarbonize its buildings in the most feasible, cost-effective, and equitable ways. The analysis, which was completed by Synapse Energy Economics, found that Minnesota is likely to affordably reach our goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 by aggressively adopting heat pumps and planning for a smooth transition.

Key Findings from the Minnesota Decarbonization Analysis:
• Costs are likely to be Lower if Minnesota Fully Electrifies Heat
• Aggressive Adoption of Heat Pumps is a Key, Immediate Strategy
• Partial Electrification Using RNG is likely to Lead To Higher Emissions
• Electrification Leads To Health Cost Savings
• Need For Utility Planning
• Costs and Reliability can be Managed through Key Strategies
• Electricity Demand will Increase Substantially, but the Increase is Manageable

Ni****ne dependence intensifies among Minnesota teens who v**e.

Minnesota students who use e-cigarettes, also called va**ng, are finding themselves increasingly trapped in ni****ne dependence, according to new data from the Minnesota Youth To***co Survey. About 7 in 10 students who v**e want to quit, and nearly two-thirds have tried to quit with some trying to quit 10 or more times.

Ni****ne dependence has implications for youth mental health. Youth and young adults can show signs of ni****ne dependence quickly. Increasing dependence on ni****ne leads to stronger withdrawal symptoms, which cause mood fluctuations and negative mood and can amplify or exacerbate stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression. Up until about age 25, ni****ne can negatively affect learning, attention and memory.

For Minnesota teens ages 13-17, there’s free and confidential help. My Life, My Quit is a program to support teens in quitting commercial to***co use, including va**ng. Teens can text “Start My Quit” to 36072 or visit My Life, My Quit online to chat with a quit coach, engage in coaching calls or online chat and receive youth-specific materials.

After the implementation of public health measures and va**ng restrictions, data shows youth va**ng has started to decline in Minnesota. In 2023, 13.9% or about 1 in 7 high school students reported having v**ed in the past 30 days, a significant decline from 19.3% in 2020. Many cities and counties have enacted policies to protect youth in their community. About 1 in 4 Minnesotans are now covered by a local ordinance that restricts or prohibits the sale of flavored commercial to***co products, including e-cigarettes.

What’s up with time-of-use rates?

How time-of-use rates save customers money and reduce emissions

As we transition toward a low-cost, clean electric grid, time-of-use (TOU) rates are becoming an essential tool for managing electricity consumption, reducing the use of fossil fuel generation, and optimizing grid efficiency.

But what exactly are TOU rates, and why are they so important?

In this post, we’ll lay out how TOU rates can be an effective tool in our toolkit for creating a low-cost, clean electricity future here in Minnesota. We’ll explain why TOU rates are helpful and needed, the TOU rate principles Fresh Energy advocates for to ensure they’re equitable and effective, as well as several examples of successful TOU programs that have already been implemented across the country. By the end, you’ll be well-versed in how time-of-use rates can help build a cleaner, more efficient electricity system!

What are time-of-use rates, and why are they important?
Time-of-use rates are a pricing structure where the cost of electricity varies depending on the time of day, day of the week, and/or season. Unlike traditional flat rates where electricity costs the same no matter when you use it, TOU rates more accurately reflect the actual cost of generating and delivering electricity at different times. During peak hours, when electricity demand is high and electricity is more expensive to produce, rates are higher. Conversely, during off-peak times when demand is low and low-cost, clean energy sources like wind and solar are more plentiful, rates are lower.

TOU rates are designed to incentivize customers to shift their electricity usage to off-peak periods, thereby reducing the overall demand during peak times. This shift has several benefits:

Efficiency and cost savings: By spreading out electricity use more evenly throughout the day, electric utilities can operate more efficiently, reducing the need for expensive and polluting peaker plants (like natural gas peaker plants) that are only used during high-demand periods and sit idle during off-peak times.
Environmental benefits: Encouraging the use of electricity to better match with when renewable resources are abundant reduces our reliance on polluting fossil fuels like natural gas and coal, which helps Minnesota reach its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to be carbon-free by 2040.

Consumer control: TOU rates offer consumers more control over their electricity bills by allowing them to take advantage of lower rates during off-peak times and rewarding them for helping our electric system shift to low-cost, clean electricity.
Here in Minnesota, where wind and solar power are increasingly providing renewable energy, TOU rates help to align electricity consumption with periods when wind and solar are most available, further supporting the transition to a clean energy grid.
