Prof. James Coleman Interviewed on MPR News About Minnesota-North Dakota Conflict About Reducing Carbon Footprint

Professor James Coleman was interviewed on MPR News discussing an energy-policy conflict between Minnesota and North Dakota. Earlier this month, utility companies Great River Energy and Minnesota Power broke ground in Becker, Minn., on new power lines. It's part of a large project to update the region’s power grid, which helps move along the state’s plan to reduce its carbon footprint. But North Dakota filed a federal complaint to stop it, saying that their residents should not have to pay higher rates to subsidize Minnesota's energy goals. Listen to the interview.
