| 00:00 - 00:05 | So the Center for the American Experiment has a new report |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Have you seen it?? |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | It's a joke! |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Here's the short version |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | It says the RES has been a failure! |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Seriously!! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | A failure!! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | They say it hasn't reduced carbon emissions |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | All our wind... |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | it says MN hasn't reduced emissions economywide |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | doesn't even look at power sector emissions |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | RES hasn't reduced carbon |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | are you kidding me?!? |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | no reduction... |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | and it takes the $10 billion |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | we spent spent on wind |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | that's investment in our state |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | and says it's a bad thing!! |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | $10 billion |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | and doesn't even look at how much gas and coal cost for the same energy |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | No comparison |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | Everyone knows wind is cheaper than coal and gas |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | And, there's more, they say MN rates aren't competive |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | And that...get this...Mn isn't suitable for solar |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | not here, in Minnesota |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | we're not good for solar |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | solar |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | from the sun |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | like we don't have sun |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | have they looked at insulation maps?!? |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | no solar |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | we have |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | over 500 MW now |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | over 500! |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | not suitable for solar |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | these guys |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | no solar in Minnesota |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | They say we can only have wind... |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | RES was a bad investment |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | can you believe it |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | these guys say they're energy experts? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | yes, they're around the Capitol |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | but, I mean try to read this thing |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | I bet you can't get through 5 pages |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | RES has been a failure |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | A failure |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | They should tell Xcel!! |
