  • The Honorable Rodric Bray, President Pro Tempore, Indiana Senate Indiana State House 200 W
    The Honorable Rodric Bray, President Pro Tempore, Indiana Senate Indiana State House 200 W. Washington Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 Dear Senator Bray, The undersigned organizations strongly oppose House Bill 1414. The sole purpose of this legislation is to sustain the profits of two coal mining companies, regardless of the negative consequences – higher utility bills, harm to public health, and making it harder for utilities to retire aging, uneconomic coal-fired plants that are not necessary to ensure a reliable supply of electricity. There is overwhelming opposition to this legislation, including from all five investor-owned utilities in Indiana. It runs fundamentally counter to the inevitable trends in the power market, including the systematic phaseout of coal-fired power. Coal’s demise is certain. • The Energy Information Administration projects that renewables will overtake coal as a source of electricity next year, generating 22 percent of the nation’s power, compared to 21 percent for coal plants. • Morgan Stanley expects up to 80 percent of the remaining coal fleet to be financially at risk from renewable energy investments through 2030. • The shuttering of coal plants from 2005 to 2016 saved over 26,000 lives and resulted in higher crop yields near the plants from reduced air pollution, according to a University of California study. • As of 2017, in Great Lakes states, there were about 345,000 clean energy jobs, compared to about 57,000 jobs at coal, natural gas and nuclear power plants and about 21,000 jobs in coal mining and natural gas drilling. • By 2025, NextEra Energy estimates wind and solar facilities coupled with energy storage will be cheaper than most existing coal-fired, nuclear or natural gas-fired power plants.

  • December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Speaker Melissa Hortman Majority
    December 8, 2020 Governor Tim Walz Minority Leader Kurt Daudt Speaker Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka Majority Leader Ryan Winkler Senator Minority Leader Susan Kent Dear State Leaders: We are jointly and urgently calling upon you to act quickly toward an agreement that will provide immediate economic relief for our small businesses and communities. Rochester and Olmsted County’s business and service sector has been hit due to the pandemic, in a similar fashion to other communities around the state. The entities signed below have come together to work jointly since the pandemic in a local, coordinated effort titled “Rochester Ready” to ensure a safe and resilient recovery for the area. This unique public- private partnership group has assisted and communicate with local businesses and the community. We encourage you to also come together as state leaders during this extremely challenging and dynamic time to assist communities and businesses in need. Local units of governments in our area have thoughtfully and quickly distributed funding received through the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), but much of the programs and assistance provided through that funding will expire at the end of the year. It is important that additional assistance continue into 2021, as the impacts of the pandemic will continue as well. Immediate, additional assistance for small businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic and an extension of the unemployment insurance program is critically needed in our community and for the state’s economy. Sincerely, -City of Rochester -Mayo Clinic -Destination Medical Center (DMC) -Olmsted County -Diversity Council -Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce -The Greater Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau -Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc.
