Rochester is Ready for 100% Renewable Energy

Rochester, MN is the home of the Mayo Clinic and known as "America's City for Health." It's time we make good on our name by leaving dirty fossil fuels behind and switching to 100% clean, renewable energy.

Climate change is the most pressing human and environmental health crisis the world has ever faced. Here in MN, indigenous communities are threatened by pipeline expansions, coal plants still put out toxic fumes, and here in Rochester, 1,000-year flood events are becoming commonplace.  Rochester can no longer afford to contribute to these unjust hazards when we turn on the lights.

The time to be a part of the solution is now! Add your name to the petition to demand a just, equitable, and fast transition to 100% renewable energy in Rochester, MN!
