LETTER: Thank you, Tim Walz

Your vote for the clean energy and climate legislation in June helped pass a bill that will affect many people and lifestyles:
Farmers: Warmer climate = poor crop and livestock production
Sportsmen: Warmer climate = loss of wildlife waterfowl habitat
Everyday life: More air conditioning costs, higher prices for food
The legislation passed will help everyone through carbon capture and a more stable, predictable climate:
Farmers: Earn $75M/year by carbon and methane capture (USDA est) and growing bio energy crops
Sportsmen: Fishing, hunting wildlife stability and continued production in “normal”, expected regions
Everyday life: Stable, more predictable(?) energy costs, Increased income for So. MN via demand for clean energy such as wind power and bio energy crops
Thank you, Representative Walz for standing firm and addressing these common sense solution to our nation’s energy and climate challenges.
