Tim Walz Drowned His State in Useless Green Subsidies

Kamala Harris’s running mate has an unquestioning devotion to the loudest, most radical environmentalist voices.

Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, is a committed Green New Dealer with a record of falling for environmentalist scams and blocking conventional-energy development.

In June, Walz pledged Minnesota to only use wind, solar, and other environmentalist-favored sources of power by the year 2040. “We are going to see these projects get in the ground, we are going to see them create jobs, we are going to see them create energy independence for Minnesota, and at the same time we are doing our part to reduce carbon emissions,” he said. At the start of next year, Minnesotans will be legally required to get 25 percent of their electricity from green sources, while for the state’s largest utility, Xcel Energy, the requirement will be 30 percent. This law will also forbid Minnesotans from selling conventional power to other states. According to legal complaints against Walz from neighboring states, it is “constitutionally suspect” and “an improper attempt by Minnesota to export its wholly internal energy-policy decisions to its neighboring states in patent violation of those states’ rights and sovereignty.”
