The Risks of Rolling Blackouts: The Dangers of Shifting to ‘Green’ Energy Sources in Minnesota

As a journalist, I recently had the opportunity to address the Senate during a debate on an energy bill that raised concerns about the move towards solar and wind energy sources. In my remarks, I expressed my worries about the risks of rolling blackouts, high electricity costs, and profits leaving Minnesota for out-of-state corporations and foreign entities. By shifting from reliable baseload power to heavily subsidized “green” sources, we are setting ourselves up for potential environmental disaster and increased costs for ratepayers.

The push towards solar and wind energy seems to be driven more by climate alarmism than scientific facts and data. I urge you to watch my full remarks on this issue by following the link provided. Instead of following this anti-science agenda, we should focus on adopting sensible, proven energy sources like nuclear, natural gas, clean coal, and hydropower that can offer affordable baseload power without distorting the market through mandates.

I recommend reading the book “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years,” which presents scientific evidence that recent climate changes are part of a natural cycle and not solely caused by human activity. It’s time to reject climate change hysteria and embrace evidence-based energy policies that prioritize environmental friendliness and reliability.

As a journalist who cares about this important issue, I appreciate your feedback and engagement. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you for taking the time to read my article on this topic.
