If mad scientists went to a secret lab to create a climate clone of Kamala Harris on energy policy, they’d end up with Tim Walz.
If mad scientists went to a secret lab to create a climate clone of Kamala Harris on energy policy, they’d be thrilled if the new handiwork ended up looking – and acting – like Tim Walz. [emphasis, links added]
Check the record: the Minnesota Governor wants to decarbonize his state the same way extremists like California Governor Gavin Newsom do. He signed a 100 percent carbon-free electrical standard by 2040 and tied his state’s emission standards to California’s.
He did so even though nearly 70 percent of Minnesota’s current energy mix comes from traditional energy sources.
Now, Tim Walz wants to be your next vice president and bring those ideals to America at large.
To no one’s surprise, the Minnesota Governor’s ideology is aligned with climate zealots running the Democratic party.
Their proposed platform for their upcoming convention will most assuredly focus its energy sections on decarbonization, ending fossil fuel use, and the false narratives surrounding a “climate crisis.”
Tim Walz’s ideologies fit right in with those hardliners, and have since his days in Congress where he supported job-killing ideas like a cap-and-trade bill and even voiced support for a carbon tax, despite how those actions may have harmed the manufacturing and agricultural sectors in his home state.
With Walz on the ticket, it is worth noting how his views and actions regarding energy have increased regulatory burdens, made Minnesota more federal government-dependent, and hamstrung The Land of 10,000 Lakes from developing its natural resource base.
All these actions have weakened American and Minnesotan opportunities while empowering Communist China and other enemies of our nation.
America, pushing the country toward ‘green’ energy solutions and away from traditional ones. He’s championed social and environmental justice programs in Minnesota, taking hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants and subsidies to enact those programs.
His work to ensure Minnesota is seen as a leader in the race to decarbonize includes a 69-page climate plan that includes a “goal of increasing the share of electric cars on Minnesota roads to 20% by 2030 from the current 1%, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, and achieving a zero net carbon emissions goal by 2050.”
He has joined the 24-state coalition of the U.S. Climate Alliance, which seems more concerned with ‘just transitions and equity’ than it is with the impacts on jobs and economies of member states with their mandates-over-markets approach to accelerating net-zero policies.
In short, Tim Walz is a fan of the green agenda. But at what cost to Minnesotans?
By raking in federal monies designed to solve the ‘climate crisis’, he’s made Minnesota more dependent on government largesse moving forward.
Walz has no plan for when the federal green gravy train runs dry.
More importantly, if he really wants to move Minnesota toward a decarbonized goal, why did Walz praise the Biden-Harris administration when they killed a world-class mine that could have established a domestic supply chain of critical – and short-supplied – components of the ‘green’ agenda?
