Speaking of clean and abundant energy, Kamala’s position on fossil fuels and fracking seems to twist in the wind like a weather vane about every two weeks. But her running mate is no equivocator: he wants to abolish all fossil fuel production.

Politico reports that “it took Governor Tim Walz all of a month after being sworn into a second term to sign a sweeping clean energy bill that put in place one of the Midwest’s most progressive climate policies.” His plan requires utilities to produce 100 percent carbon-free energy in 15 years.

Meanwhile, Walz has embraced California’s clean-car rules, which would eventually lead to a full ban on gas cars. In 2022, his climate change scheme called for increasing the share of electric cars on Minnesota roads to 20% by 2030, from the current 1%. He has also proposed completely banning liquid transportation fuels by 2050.

Despite all his anti-internal-combustion-vehicle policies, Walz claims he has to ride in a gas-guzzler SUV for security reasons:

When asked why Minnesota was moving towards its Green New Deal even faster than California, he proclaimed: “When I hear people say, ‘You’re moving too fast’ – we can’t move too fast when it comes to addressing climate change.”

This election could come down to a referendum on whether America should use its vast energy resources or not.
