HF 639: Bill to roll back Minnesota’s clean energy requirements

Minnesota’s Next Generation Energy Act is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by moving Minnesota away from reliance on coal fired energy plants. The law places limitations on importing electricity from new coal fired plants in other states, and on long-term agreements to purchase power from sources that would increase statewide carbon dioxide emissions. HF 639 repeals these provisions of the Next Generation Energy Act, and is a backwards step in the state’s efforts to move away from reliance on coal.
