Minnesota is not on track to meet it's greenhouse targets (30% by 2025 and 80% by 2050). Like many parts of the US, the state made great progress on electricity, but pollution from other sectors is flat or growing. https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-falls-further-away-from-greenhouse-gas-reduction-goals/600010709/?refresh=true

Minnesota utilities have now basically committed to get out of the coal business, and most are saying they'll be carbon-free or close to it by 2050.

What remains is the fossil gas burning that is happening in distributed sources all over the state: cars, trucks, and buildings. And how we practice agriculture. We need big changes in all these sectors.

The trends are similar nationally. Where MN doesn't track national averages is in buildings. Residential GHGs grew 32% since 2005, while nationally the trend is basically flat. #gasproblem

MN transportation pollution tracks national trends. Makes sense as fuel economy is driven by the feds. Adopting #CleanCarsMN will help (thanks @MnPCA!)

Making safe streets a priority and investing heavily in bus rapid transit can also reduce driving and transport GHGs https://t4america.org/maps-tools/driving-down-emissions/
