Leading the Way in Clean Energy
There’s a lot to love about South Dakota not the least of which is the natural beauty of our land. I have a deep appreciation for South Dakota’s clean air and water, and I support clean energy investments that help boost our economy – not cripple it.
South Dakota is already leading the way in clean energy, like wind and hydropower. Plus, our strong agriculture sector allows for the production of renewable fuels, like ethanol and biodiesel. In fact, approximately 70 percent of South Dakota energy generation comes from renewable sources. I will continue to support an all-of-the-above approach to clean energy.
