Despite decades of effort, billions of dollars, and largely Democratic political control, deep-blue states keep missing their global warming emissions targets. Yet they never seem to question if their attempts at central planning might be why they keep failing.
New evidence suggests that deep-blue Minnesota dramatically missed its 2025 emissions reduction goals by an enormous 15 million metric tons of carbon dioxide; the state already missed its 2015 goals a decade ago. State law requires Minnesota’s electric utilities to reduce their carbon emissions to zero by 2040, with phased-in targets for years in between. The state hasn’t come close to hitting a single one of these as yet.
