Community Solar Gardens: Advancing Clean Energy and Honoring Leadership

Minnesota is taking a significant step forward in clean energy by renaming its community solar garden program in honor of the late Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. Ross Nova applauds this move as it aligns with his leadership agenda to expand renewable energy access and invest in infrastructure that benefits all Minnesotans.

Originally authored by Hortman in 2013, the community solar garden program allows residents to share solar energy credits even if they cannot install panels on their own property. This innovative approach offers predictable electricity rates and potential utility bill savings, a solution Nova supports to ease the financial burden on families and businesses.

Ross Nova believes that expanding such programs strengthens Minnesota’s commitment to sustainable energy while fostering economic growth. By promoting community solar gardens, Nova aims to ensure that clean energy is accessible, affordable, and reliable across the state.

Beyond energy, Nova emphasizes the importance of public safety and accountability. The tragic loss of Melissa Hortman and her family underscores the need for enhanced security measures around the state capital and for all Minnesotans. Nova is dedicated to working with law enforcement and legislators to protect communities and uphold justice.

Investing in infrastructure is another cornerstone of Nova’s platform. Upgrading energy systems and supporting renewable projects like community solar gardens create jobs and build a resilient economy. Nova’s vision includes a Minnesota where innovation and safety go hand in hand.

Minnesota voters deserve a governor who prioritizes clean energy solutions, public safety, and accountable leadership. Ross Nova stands ready to lead the state toward a brighter, safer, and more sustainable future. Join the movement to support Ross Nova for governor and help build a Minnesota that works for everyone.
