Democrats hold a 34-33 advantage in the Minnesota State Senate.
Democrats hold a 70-64 advantage in the Minnesota State House of Representatives.
And the legislation will cause electricity prices to skyrocket.

This comes at the same time that Joe Biden banned mining in the Iron Range, a Democrat-dominant working-class area in north-eastern Minnesota.
The new energy infrastructure in Minnesota will ban mining here at home as Biden struck a deal with African nations who use child labor and China where they use slave labor.
All in the name of climate change – the new religion of the left.
Alpha News reported:
The Minnesota House passed legislation after seven hours of debate late Thursday night that would require the state’s electricity grid to be 100% carbon-free in 17 years.
This is an unrealistic timeline that could endanger the lives of Minnesotans if it fails while causing their electricity bills to skyrocket, Republicans argued throughout the night.
They unsuccessfully offered several amendments to the bill, including lifting the state’s moratorium on new nuclear power plants, allowing for the use of carbon sequestration technologies, and delaying the standard to consider its impact on child and slave labor in the green energy supply chain.
“Frankly, what this bill will be doing today is making Minnesota reliant on nations around the globe that have no labor standards and no environmental standards. Minnesota in this bill will build a clean grid economy on the backs of child slaves in China and poor environmental regulations in Indonesia and the Congo,” Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Wabana Township, said at a press conference ahead of the debate.
He said the resources to build a clean energy future are right in Minnesota’s backyard, yet the federal government has now banned mining on 250,000 acres of the Iron Range.
“The third-largest deposits of copper, nickel and cobalt that exist in the known world are only 250 miles north of this Capitol. Instead of investing in those resources … we have decided to export it around the world where carbon emissions will be 20, 25, or 30 times higher than if we were to do it here in Minnesota,” he continued.

BTW my granddaughter got her a new used Yamaha guitar today. I bought it new for her aunt (my daughter) about 10 years ago but she never learned to play it. So she gave it to her niece (the gifted one), who is a pretty good piano player (and improving fast), an avid reader, and an amateur entomologist, ornithologist, and herpetologist. She's learning Mandarin.

If you ever get up to the UP, try their pasties (PASS-tees). Like a fried pie with thick beef stew in it. Excellent!
Edit: Not fried; baked.

Dayum! That's badass. I still have PTSD after ZeroHedge (Fight Club) clipped some of my pithy posts.
I'll make sure to make that a hysterical issue when nurse McMurphy gets here ~0030 after her shift in the clot-shot meatgrinder.
I'm very sensitive.

I'll pay for half your gas getting down here, and I'll let you borrow my tools.
Oh, and it's gettin' cold down here -- in the 40s and 50s. Maybe you could split some firewood for me, too? I have a lawn chair, so I'd be right there with you, brother.
StraitWoman's a pretty good cook -- if you happen to like the half dozen or so dishes she does really well. If she's experimenting, well, then we can go to the Chinese buffet in town.
Pick up Dakkie on your way down -- my wife's printer ain't printin'.

Change your name to Dak'marius Quan'tavius Jackson5, move to California, and identify as a descendant of a negro slave. Grab that $5 million reparations money and then skedaddle.

You're killing me.
There was a cute bartender years ago. I gave her my World Book encyclopedias for her kids. I wasn't trying to bang her, she was married.
She talked about about about bathing (bath-ing) her dogs.
She was such a beautiful gal. Kinda like Rita Hayworth.
