A proposal to convert a natural gas plant in central Minnesota to burn diesel fuel oil is sparking some opposition. Green River Energy says the change would provide flexibility during times when natural gas isn’t available or its price spikes, but environmental groups say it would increase air pollution. This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Music by Gary Meister.
