Summary

The Hubbard County Board voted to adopt a resolution, circulated by Sherburne County, asking the state to lift its moratorium on nuclear power generation; commissioners debated energy policy and added language emphasizing affordable, sufficient power.

Hubbard County commissioners voted to adopt a resolution, drafted by Sherburne County, asking the state of Minnesota to end the moratorium on nuclear power generation and to consider nuclear as part of the state’s strategy to meet energy needs.

County Administrator (Speaker 11) presented the draft resolution and invited comment. Commissioner (Speaker 2) argued in favor of the resolution, saying, “the only way to meet our energy goals is nuclear,” and urged the county to join the alliance of counties supporting the position. Commissioners discussed local relevance and whether to amend the draft; the board agreed to amend a whereas clause to emphasize the objective of providing affordable and sufficient power for Minnesota residents before voting.

A motion to adopt the resolution with the amended language passed by voice vote. The county will forward the approved resolution to Sherburne County to support that county’s effort to build a broader coalition.
