If the US gets Harris and Walz then.

Walz might facilitate the speed up of the clean green energy revolution . I guess time will tell.

Walz signed a law last year that aims to make 100% of Minnesota’s electricity clean by 2040. The law narrowly passed the Minnesota state senate and was signed by Walz in February 2023.

The law compels utilities that provide electricity in Minnesota to switch from polluting sources of electricity like coal and natural gas to clean sources, including wind, solar, battery storage, hydropower and clean hydrogen.

Under the law, utilities need to switch to generating 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040 and get 80% of the way there by 2030. Minnesota’s largest utilities have voiced support for having to move quickly to zero-carbon energy but have also acknowledged the switch will be challenging.

And earlier this summer, Walz signed a separate bill to speed up energy permitting projects in Minnesota and get more clean energy onto the grid. Passing a similar bill at the federal level has been elusive in Congress.
