In his 2006 State of the State speech, Governor Tim Pawlenty set Minnesota on a course to have 25% of our energy come from renewable sources by the year 2025. This 25/25 initiative is the most agressive in the nation and will require a sustained effort from our energy industry, state government and the citizens of Minnesota.

The first step in moving toward 25/25 is conservation. By using less energy overall, it will be easier to reach the 25% renewable threshold.
