Take action on the Blackout Bill
Liberal lawmakers in St. Paul are rushing through an extreme 100% carbon-free mandate that will increase electricity bills by an average of $3,888 PER YEAR for each customer and cause deadly blackouts.
Given the enormous cost and danger associated with this irresponsible policy, it is no surprise that a survey from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) found these regulations are deeply unpopular. In fact, a vast majority, 62% of respondents, said the 100% carbon-free mandate goes too far and only 37% said it is about right or doesn’t go far enough.
The worst part about this situation is that some sources are saying the Minnesota State Senate and House of Representatives want to pass a 100% carbon-free electricity mandate by 2040 with only TWO DAYS of hearings. These mandates are a massive change to how our electricity is generated, and it requires careful consideration.
UPDATE: The Blackout Bill passed the Minnesota House of Representatives Thursday, January 26 and now the bill goes to the Senate! Our sources say the Senate will vote on the bill Thursday, February 1. Then it goes to Gov. Walz to sign into law — but not if we have anything to say about it!
Legislators are rushing because they don’t want to hear from you! Contact your elected officials now.
