28:31Now PlayingLawmakers and Governor Walz are creating goals and crafting proposals to direct Minnesota’s energy future. On this week's program, an international expert and a Minnesota lawmaker offer their views on the technological opportunities emerging in clean and renewable energy.
Gerard Reid, a founding partner of London-based Alexa Capital and a leading authority in energy investments, offers his international perspective, and Senator David Senjem, R-Rochester, describes his bill, the Clean Energy First Act, that would require utilities to first consider clean energy sources in coming years as current generation sources need replacement.
Also on the program, a deeper conversation stemming from a press conference early in the 2019 legislative session where lawmakers and advocates promoted a comprehensive bill that would increase the number of teachers of color and American Indian teachers in Minnesota’s schools. Sponsor of the Senate bill, Senator Patricia Torres Ray, DFL-Minneapolis, talks with moderato Shannon Loehrke about the need for greater diversity among Minnesota's teachers.
