Renewable energy is emerging as one of the most exciting potential workforce and economic development projects for the state of Minnesota and the Midwest region.
According to Michael Noble, executive director for Fresh Energy, "Minnesota has a fantastic opportunity in wind power -- with an unbelievably good (wind) resource, both in Minnesota and in contiguous states. We have a growing demand for energy with pretty strong leadership on public policy, both in terms of rural economic development and environmental protection. And we have both manufacturing and technology infrastructure that will support this industry."
