Welcome to MRES

MRES wants to say “Thanks” to three extraordinary volunteers who’ve helped with tabling and other tasks in recent months—Mike Kemper, Forrest Brown and Brian Brown.

All three have helped tremendously with tabling at events for many months, helping get the message about solar to thousands of people. Kemper has been volunteering for years and is willing to jump in and run with projects. Forrest Brown helped make the MRES 2013 fundraiser happen with his planning and organization skills. Brian Brown, who is graduating from college and moving out of state, has helped with board meeting setups and the outreach committee, including the Solar Flare newsletter. These volunteers have helped in other ways, too.

April 22 – St. Paul – Over 700 people showed up at the State Capitol Rotunda on Earth Day to rally support for more clean energy and clean energy jobs. Governor Mark Dayton, Explorer Will Steger, Rep. Keith Ellison, House Speaker Paul Thissen, legislative leaders, student, faith, and labor representatives spoke to demand action for more clean energy and jobs.

“Six years ago, the state came together in a bipartisan way to pass landmark policies to advance renewable energy and energy efficiency. But we still have work to do,” said Will Steger. “These policies will take Minnesota further down the road to a clean energy future that provides good jobs and protects the environment for generations to come.”
