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?
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.
