Last week, Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) told workers in St. Paul, Minnesota that he will work to pass a comprehensive energy plan that includes promoting renewable sources, increased offshore drilling and the expansion of nuclear energy programs.
Challenging Coleman’s seat in the US Senate (best known as “Paul Wellstone’s seat”) is former comedian, satirist, author and homegrown Minnesotan, Al Franken. Franken also believes we need to end our dependence on foreign oil.
