The House Omnibus Energy bill includes a provision that would roll back Minnesota’s clean energy policies by repealing existing clean energy laws. An amendment was offered to reject this provision and uphold Minnesota’s current clean energy laws.
The amendment would uphold current law that prevents utility companies from entering into long-term agreements to import coal-based power that would increase greenhouse gas emissions in the state.
What Would Happen?
Clean energy policies upheld; utilities cannot import more coal power.
Minnesota’s clean energy policies are weakened; more coal power will be imported.
How The House Voted
Minnesota’s clean energy policies are weakened; more coal power will be imported.
