Again, and again, MN leaves WI in the dust

Compare these two stories on back-to-back from neighboring Upper Midwestern states:

Minnesota:

Minnesota set to see second consecutive year of strong solar energy growth

Minnesota is set for a second consecutive year of strong growth for solar energy, anchored by a 23 percent increase in the size of the state’s community solar garden program.

Developers in the state also are on track to add at least four larger “utility scale” solar arrays in coming years. Each would be bigger than the state’s largest existing solar development near North Branch, which provides power to Xcel Energy.

Wisconsin:

Lack of clarity on state law could hinder solar projects, and limit competition

For several months now, solar panels and other equipment have been sitting in a warehouse owned by the City of Milwaukee.

The idea was to add solar power to seven city buildings, saving money while moving a step closer toward meeting the city's long-term environmental goals.

The project, set to begin last fall, was put on hold after We Energies refused to connect it to the utility's system, contending that the project is illegal under state law.

And, yes, we've seen these contrasts before, whether related to climate change. or economic growth, or health care costs, outcomes and accessibility.

Final thought, per this story:

Good riddance, Walker.
