Talking Points
Below are a few key talking points to help you draft a letter to the editor of your local paper.
- The findings of a new economic study on Minnesota's energy policies concern me - now is not the time to impose additional economic challenges on Minnesota households and businesses.
- Minnesota needs a balanced energy policy - one that protects the environment and keeps energy reliable and affordable for the families and industries that depend on it.
- I hope discussions at the Capitol will take into account the economic impacts of our energy policies.
- We need a national solution to the climate change policies we face - not a regional effort that will kill jobs in Minnesota.
