2024-08-14

Arrr, matey! Vice President Kamala Harris be not the lone buccaneer hoistin' the flag for pricier ships o' electricity and transportation! Governor Tim Walz be joinin' the crew, too, raisin' the sails on inflation and givin' us but a handful o' landlubber car choices! Aye!

Arrr, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn about the high seas of politics, where Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota's own Captain Tim Walz be signalin' for higher prices on electricity and transportation, makin' it harder for landlubbers to keep their ships afloat! Aye, in 2023, Walz be sign'n a law demandin' that 80% of Minnesotans’ energy be from carbon-free sources by 2030. But hold yer grog! This be raisin' costs for the good folk of Minnesota, clashin' with the notion of affordable energy!

Now, ye see, Minnesota's got a treasure trove of nuclear and wind power, yet they still rely on coal and gas for almost half their energy. Our matey Isaac Orr claims these new mandates’ll cost Minnesotans a whopping $318 billion by 2050! That’s a mighty sum to pay for electricity that’ll be costlier than a chest of gold! And don’t ye forget, Walz be shovin' electric cars down the throats of Minnesotans like a fine rum, while lettin’ the Chinese count their doubloons from battery sales!

In the end, Walz and Harris be sailin' the same ship, care more for Mother Earth than the wallets of the good people. So, raise yer mugs, for we be livin' in a stormy sea of choices with a hearty price tag! Arrr!
