Manitoba repatriating 500MW of baseload power — not renewing export contract to Minnesota expiring next month

Power will be used within Canada instead, with first 50MW to Nunavut, and opening negotiations for an east-west power corridor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5xxi-MqWFA
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.
