MN energy

On Feb 2023 MN governor signed a bill stating that the state will be producing 100% carbon free electricity by 2024. The key word is electricity. MN gets 73% of its energy from fossil fuel but only 29% is for electricity. The rest is for heating and transportation so even if this goal is achieved there will still be 44% generated from fossil fuel. Most people who read the law believe that the state will be carbon free. This law was important because in 2024 the EPA set up a $200 million dollar grant for MN to produce carbon free electric power. The no nuke people still control the state and there are no plans to increase nuclear power. The majority are still convinced that wind and solar can replace fossil fuels.
