MnCEF was proud to attend and participate in the 2026 MITI Forum.

Executive Director Rachel Stuckey joined fellow leaders to discuss the importance of political durability. Building bipartisan energy policies that can stand the test of time and provide the certainty needed for long term investment and economic growth.

Rachel highlighted the work of the Minnesota Made Ammonia Coalition as an example of what can be accomplished through collaboration. By bringing together stakeholders from across industries and political perspectives, the coalition helped introduce and advance bipartisan support for legislation to strengthen Minnesota’s ammonia industry and position our state as a leader in next generation manufacturing and agriculture.

Thank you to the organizers and everyone who contributed to a thoughtful discussion about Minnesota’s future. MnCEF looks forward to continuing to work with partners across the state to advance practical, durable energy policies that support innovation, create jobs, and keep Minnesota competitive.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the ideals that have guided our nation for 250 years—freedom, opportunity, innovation, and the determination to build a better future.

At MnCEF, we believe those same principles are essential to advancing affordable, reliable, American made energy that benefits Minnesota families, businesses, farmers, and communities.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, we’re grateful for those who have helped build and defend our nation and remain committed to supporting policies and solutions that strengthen America’s energy future.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day. God Bless America!

This Memorial Day, all of us at MnCEF pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Their courage and selflessness secured the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today, and we are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on those who gave everything for our country.

“Communities that demand thoughtful partners can secure both economic growth and resource protection.”

That quote really captures the conversation happening around data centers and AI infrastructure right now.

Communities are asking important questions about energy, water stewardship, long-term investment, and local impact — and they should.

Projects that prioritize transparency, sustainability, and public benefit will set the tone for the future of economic development.

After looking closely at the Google data center partnership in Pine Island, I came away impressed, and believe it offers a blueprint for getting these projects right.
