“I am all in for Walz,” said Gina McCarthy, former Biden White House national climate advisor. She now co-chairs a climate coalition called America Is All In. “He can't be bought by the fossil fuel industry. Walz is a climate champion moving Minnesota toward 100% clean energy.”

But the green party isn’t cheering: https://www.gp.org/green_party_walz_is_no_leader_on_climate_change

“A coalition of 16 environmental groups recently criticized Walz‘s lax enforcement of environmental regulations, reliance on voluntary compliance by farmers on nitrate pollution limits instead of legal enforcement, failure to adequately police air quality violations from a foundry in a low-income environmental justice neighborhood, and a flawed permitting process for a crude oil pipeline built through wetlands.”

This sounds like the Khmer Rouge: “The Green Party’s Ecosocialist Green New Deal calls for public ownership and control of the energy system and much of the economy. It supports Making Polluters Pay for the damage they have caused, starting with a robust carbon fee and dividend, as well as decarbonizing and re-localizing the food system, including regenerative agriculture and a more plant-based diet.”
