Post BulletinDuring a visit with Rochester business leaders on Monday, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar said there needs to be a "national call to action" to encourage business innovation -- especially when it comes to renewable energy technology.

She compared the call to the one put forward in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy to put a man on the moon.

"For this race that we're in right now, the finish line is not going to be Neil Armstrong landing on the moon," she said. "The finish line is going to be about a decision of whether the next big electric car battery is going to be built in Detroit or is it going to be built in South Korea."
