Kamala is running with Walz. Your family, however, will be walking with Walz.
Restoration News (8/26/24) reports: “Just call him blackout boy. In 2023, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law mandating a 100% carbon-free electricity standard for his state by 2040. That’s a tall order that’s going to prove costly for his state’s energy consumers; never mind whatever fictious deadline is attached to the legislation.
Energy policy analysts with experiencing modeling the impact of new regulations on reliability and affordability anticipate that Minnesota will experience higher electricity prices and California-style blackouts if the state does not reverse course. Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has tapped Walz to be her running mate on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, it’s worth examining how candidate Walz compares with Gov. Walz.
Like many leftists out to dupe the public, Walz postured as a moderate when he was running for governor in 2018. But he double-down on a rabidly ‘progressive’ climate agenda once taking office. Expect Walz and Harris to push for dramatic restrictions on Americans’ energy use if they win in November.
Put simply, what is happening in Minnesota will not stay in Minnesota even if Walz tempers his tone during the president campaign…Orr and Rolling describe Walz’s so-called ‘carbon-free’ bill as the ‘Blackout Bill’ since their analysis shows that requiring the Minnesota power grid to be powered purely by wind,solar, and battery storage will result in a 55-hour blackout in the winter when the wind stops blowing. Their analysis of Walz’s wind and solar mandates is every bit as unsettling. Orr and Rolling conclude that these mandates will cost ‘$313 billion through 2050 while also causing electricity bills for families to increase by an average of $1,642 per year, or $136 per month, reaching an additional $2,934 by 2040.'”
