    Rothsay residents will try to cut energy use by 10 percent

    By Joe Kimball | Published Wed, Apr 8 2009 9:50 am

    Gov. Tim Pawlenty will be in Rothsay, Minn., Thursday to help kick off an ambitious community project: cutting energy use by 10 percent.

    Working with their local utility, Ottertail Power, the community's power use will be monitored for the next five years to see whether a single community can make a difference when it comes to reducing energy consumption.

    Rothsay, in west central Minnesota, has a population of 500.

    The power company is providing incentives, including rebates, free products to help save energy and free weatherization for qualifying households.

    There's also a chance for someone to win a home energy makeover valued at $12,000.

    The kickoff is Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the school gym.
