Democrats in Minnesota banned coal, oil and gas after passing historic legislation in the state House of Representatives on Thursday.
Democrats hold a 34-33 advantage in the Minnesota State Senate.
Democrats hold a 70-64 advantage in the Minnesota State House of Representatives.
This comes at the same time that Joe Biden banned mining in the Iron Range, a Democrat-dominant working-class area in north-eastern Minnesota.
The new energy infrastructure in Minnesota will ban mining here at home as Biden struck a deal with African nations who use child labor and China where they use slave labor.
The Minnesota House passed legislation after seven hours of debate late Thursday night that would require the state's electricity grid to be 100% carbon-free in 17 years.
"Frankly, what this bill will be doing today is making Minnesota reliant on nations around the globe that have no labor standards and no environmental standards. Minnesota in this bill will build a clean grid economy on the backs of child slaves in China and poor environmental regulations in Indonesia and the Congo," Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Wabana Township, said at a press conference ahead of the debate.
