Minnesota tops California's clean energy moves

The state of California recently announced that it would require that 20 percent of its energy come from renewable sources by 2010. Now, Minnesota will require that 25 percent of its energy will come from renewable energy sources by 2025. While California's goals are more aggressive and meaningful, it is great to see this type of action by more and more states.

According to Reuters, "The state will rely on wind power to meet most of the requirement, with solar power and cellulosic ethanol from prairie grass also potential sources."

It will be interesting to see how different states use different types of renewable energy. For example, it seems that solar power probably makes more sense in California than in Minnesota. Whereas ethanol might make more sense in Minnesota.

I guess the next question is, Will Minnesota, like California, try to ban the lightbulb?
