Governor Tim Walz and members of the Climate Change Subcabinet recently announced a goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The ambitious target would build upon a 2007 statutory goal of a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. On this week's Capitol Report program, Senate Energy Chair David Senjem, R-Rochester, and Dr. Florian Knobloch, a member of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, offer a state and global perspective on realistic energy production goals, especially in light of the difficult times in Europe due to the Russian-Ukrainian war.
