One political candidate proposes a plan for a 100% clean electric grid by 2050, citing Iowa's wind energy as a model. The segment includes a claim that climate change denial should be treated as a "mental illness," referencing Senator James Inhofe's use of a snowball on the Senate floor as an example of irrational behavior.
