Minnesota House passes 100% clean energy bill: Legislation would require the state’s electricity grid to be 100% carbon-free in 17 years.

Iffy electric heat when the temperatures hit 10 below zero in northern Minnesota will equate to premeditated murder.

Since getting rid of the carbon would leave a void in the atmosphere...can anyone tell me which gas will fill it?

That would be odd since 2023+17=2040.

Minnesota will have a real problem with meeting this goal as power from neighboring states may not be carbon free. No amount of windmills or solar panels within Minnesota will produce enough electricity to reliably power the state. So what will happen when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining and the lights go off? Electricity might be available from neighboring states to meet the need, but will Minnesota officials reject that electricity because it isn’t carbon free and leave the state in the dark?

CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere so nobody would miss it.
Except plants which would all die off when it reached 150 ppm.

I wish Texas would commit to 100% carbon involved.

A problem for more than the people of Minnesota.

There are two major interconnected electrical grids in the USA - the Western Interconnection and the Eastern Interconnection

Minnesota is part of the Eastern Interconnection.

For Minnesota to abandon reliable all-weather generation technology for pie-in-the-sky “green” technology not only inconveniences
and endangers residents of Minnesota, it will affect all the other states in the Eastern Interconnection as well.

This is what they voted for.

In the coming winters folks will start dying and they’ll blame it all on Pres Trump

Solar? Forget it. It snows half the year.

Wind? Forget it. This ain’t Texas.p> These clowns need to run the numbers instead of wishing.

Freeze in the dark morons.

PS - for the genius who said the mean January temp excursion was +9 deg F (assumptively), how does a world mean temp excursion of 1.5 deg F translate to that?

Guess I missed “local amplification” in Thermodynamics...

All life hangs from that wispy 0.04% thread. CO2 is the star player in the carbon cycle. Without it, being alive would not be a thing.

“We’re going to do this with wind and solar.”

"Making government policy is just like shopping!" - deep thoughts from Minnesota, America's reservoir of natural blondes.

MARXIST Minnesota is being destroyed by the old Red/Socialist,/Democrat alliance, the DFLP. Still in control after all these years.
