Forever Blackouts: Banning Oil, Coal, Gas in Minnesota
By M Dowling -January 30, 20231

Minnesota House Democrats banned coal, oil, and gas last week in one of the coldest states in the nation. They hope to ban mining in Minnesota as Biden strikes a deal with African nations that use child labor and China, where they use slaves.

It heads now for the Minnesota Senate, KIMT reports. The Blackout Bill would require the state’s electric utilities to have carbon-free electricity sources by 2040.

The bill passed the Minnesota House of Representatives on a 70 to 60 vote Thursday night after more than seven hours of debate.

Do I see a government plan to the takeover of utilities? :pondering:

We have nighttime temperatures well below zero in northern Minnesota/northern Wisconsin this week.

Good luck

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

You can't fix stupid.  But just maybe you can freeze it to death.

Minnesota is really getting out of hand. I wonder if they’re doing this stuff because they’re not confident that they’re going to hold on to the one party rule forever?

My wife and I bought my parents house with the idea that when we retire and they either move out or pass away, we would move up to Minnesota in retirement

We may be forced to rethink that.

Maybe they think they can buy up all the windmill electricity North Dakota is exporting...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
