Energy Policy Debate: Solar and Wind vs. Nuclear, Natural Gas and Baseload Power

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

The push towards renewable energy seems to be driven more by political correctness than scientific facts and data. I urge you to watch my full remarks on this issue by following the link provided. Instead of blindly 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.
