My concern is that this will prolong the life of fossil fuel generation in Minnesota (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Minnesota) which is twice as much as all other generation sources combined (8662MW vs. 4453.3MW). So, it's hurting the environment to assert sovereignty - which is probably not what the average Canadian wants.

Maintaining our sovereignty comes first.

The contract was ending at the end of April anyway.

That's why it says they're not renewing the contract.
