Incumbent Public Utilities Commissioner Chris Nelson faced challenger Henry Red Cloud at a forum in Sturgis this weekend. This is the only joint appearance the two will make this election season.
Red Cloud says it's time for South Dakota to move away from fossil fuels and into renewable energy.
Nelson says the PUC is legally mandated to keep utility rates low.
