Good grief! She looks like a complete mental case.

MN should pick a county that goes “carbon free” tomorrow, not in 17 years. It will serve as a pilot project to demonstrate the joys of Marxism.

Solar panels and solar energy is a waste of time in Minnesota. It it works anywhere, it is in sunny states like Florida. Just pave over the Everglades with solar panels/

Unless these “visionaries” plan on going nuclear, this is an impossible task, BUT HELP MAY BE ON THE WAY.

Or at least after they have gotten over their silly superstitions stirred up by that piece of cinematic propaganda, “The China Syndrome”.

This is a good start, but they will also need to repeal the Law of Gravity and Thermodynamics’ Second Law in order to make it happen.

They’ll be forced to do what California had to do when the state had rolling blackouts under Gov. Grey Davis: They’ll pay out their nose for power from their neighbors.

They’ll eliminate carbon by chasing everyone out except the imported poor in Minneapolis, who won’t be buying cars anyway.

You go for it, Minnesota. Let us know how it works out for you.

What’s the plan? How do they plan on reducing carbon? How do they plan on building using green materials? How do they plan on shipping those materials into the city? How do they plan on converting all the gas stations to electric charging stations? How do they plan on creating the extra electricity to support that? How do they plan on shoveling all the snow with electric snow plows?

Without the feasibility study, business case, return on investment, risk mitigation plan and what the final costs will be, it is just a pipedream meant to siphon money from the citizens.

They’re just laws.

We can repeal them and write new ones!

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

That’s like saying, “We’re going to meet our water needs by going outside and opening our mouths when it rains.”

They have no plan. They won’t even allow mining for cobalt, which Minnesota has plenty of. To show how insane the left’s energy policies are: think about how their “green” energy depends a lot on rare-earths and how they won’t allow mining of the rare-earths available in the U.S.

Then there is nuclear, carbon free, electric power generation.

I suspect that at the proper moment, Elon Musk will announce the existence of small nuclear generators that will become the de facto electric power generation source

Elon now employs somewhere in America the brains and manufacturing capability to produce the revolutionary nuclear generators

Means absolutely nothing if China and India ignore “climate change”.

"100% clean energy" would be a lie even if China, India, etc. did not exist. At least at the present time, it takes fossil fuels to produce electricity.
