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.

From job creation to local investment, it’s clear that energy is playing a major role in strengthening communities across the state. Grateful to be part of the conversation and to see such strong engagement around Minnesota’s energy future.

The letter supporting congressional action under the Congressional Review Act is currently open, and there’s still time to participate, with the deadline extended to COB today.
