Since 1998, Minnesota has been a leader in promoting ethanol use by serving as the national pilot market.  The project has resulted in the largest ethanol-based fueling network in the U.S., multiple production plants, and thousands of flexible fuel vehicles on Minnesota roads.  Minnesota is also home to two nuclear power plants which provide 25% of the state’s electricity.
