Tim Walz is a climate alarmist and a fervent advocate of the disastrous Green New Deal

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, is a fervent advocate of the Democratic Party’s radical Green New Deal environmental proposal.

According to an article written by Andre Follet for The Climate Depot, Walz has a record of embracing radical environmental initiatives and impeding conventional energy development. In fact, he has turned Minnesota into a national leader in green energy policies and fiscal incentives with 132 measures passed to promote renewable energy, second only to California. (Related: FLASHBACK: Tim Walz BRIBED parents to give their kids COVID-19 vaccines.)

During his tenure as governor, over $2 billion has been allocated to natural resources, climate and energy projects, alongside funding for clean energy career training programs. This level of spending is unparalleled among states and rivals the substantial investments outlined in the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

In his first year in office, Walz established a climate crisis sub-cabinet and advisory board. He formulated a comprehensive plan to cut in half the harmful emissions by 2030 and increase to 20 percent the share of electric vehicles on Minnesota’s roads by the end of the decade.

In June, Walz committed Minnesota to exclusively utilizing wind, solar and other favored renewable energy sources by 2040. In 2025, Minnesotans will be mandated to derive 25 percent of their electricity from green sources, with Xcel Energy, the largest utility in Minnesota, required to achieve 30 percent.

“We are going to see these projects get in the ground, we are going to see them create jobs, we are going to see them create energy independence for Minnesota, and at the same time we are doing our part to reduce carbon emissions,” Walz stated in June.

However, the new legislation prohibits Minnesotans from selling conventional power to other states, considering it “constitutionally suspect” and an overreach into their rights and sovereignty.

These ambitious mandates are accompanied by increased tax rebates for EVs, expanded access to EV charging stations and streamlined permitting processes for new renewable energy projects. These government spending programs have placed heavy financial burdens on Minnesota taxpayers.

Walz’s reputation as a “climate change champion” is not just confined to his governorship. He consistently supported nearly 40 climate-related bills as a 12-year member of the House of Representatives.

Walz’s Green New Deal initiatives have drowned Minnesota in useless green subsidies

In The Climate Depot article, Follet noted that these Green New Deal initiatives have drowned Minnesota in useless green subsidies.

For instance, despite its commitment to exclusively use renewable energy sources, Minnesota’s reliance on solar power remains modest, with only four percent of its electricity sourced from solar energy. Besides, the state ranks 23rd in carbon dioxide emissions nationally. Meaning to say, Walz’s initiatives have not significantly reduced emissions.

Additionally, most solar subsidies are given to individuals who install residential solar panels or as a 30 percent federal tax credit. These incentives are so substantial that some solar-leasing companies install rooftop systems, costing at least $10,000, at no upfront cost to the consumer. Some companies go door to door in Minnesota selling time-shares for “community solar gardens” to unsuspecting residents.

Once these residents sign up, they are locked into long-term contracts for communal solar panels that often fail to generate sufficient electricity for their homes. And residents relocate, they may still be responsible for their share of the costs.

Through these useless green subsidies, Walz gained the trust of his Democratic colleagues, leading to his selection as the party’s vice-presidential candidate.
