Dear Friends and Neighbors,

It was a dark day in Minnesota on February 2. Literally.

Senate Democrats rushed an extreme, risky, and divisive energy Blackout bill through the Senate. It’s called the Blackout bill for a reason – it includes only unreliable alternative energy sources, with no natural gas or nuclear energy. If we ever experience severe weather in Minnesota, our entire regional grid will be put in jeopardy due to the lack of dependable energy sources.

Experts also say it will significantly increase the cost that Minnesotans pay on their monthly energy bills.

It’s a bad and dangerous idea, through and through.

A better energy future – the A+ Energy Plan

The Democrats’ Blackout bill disaster isn’t necessary. My Senate Republican colleagues and I recently rolled out an alternative plan, called the A+ Energy Plan.

Our plan focuses on delivering dependable and affordable energy that is always available by utilizing a blend of energy sources like nuclear, renewable gas, and hydroelectric power. If we want to have a serious conversation about our energy future, we need to consider all the resources that are available to us. The Republican "all of the above" approach guarantees a steady supply of energy, making it the best solution for satisfying Minnesotans’ energy needs in all conditions.

It’s a much, much better option than their Blackout bill.
