Michigan to End All Coal Production, Expand Solar in Name of Climate Change
Penny Starr 22 Apr 2022
Michigan’s effort to end coal production and replace it with solar energy is being aided by a woke public utility that has agreed to stop its use by 2025, this despite the state’s abundant energy resources, including coal, natural gas, and nuclear.
Attorney General Dana Nessel announced an agreement between the state and Consumers Energy Company, which says on its website that it provides natural gas and electricity to 6.6 million of Michigan’s 10 million residents.
The website said it is “leading the clean energy transformation:”
Leading this transformation is the opportunity of our generation. We’re proud of our pledge to deliver industry-leading zero-coal, net-zero carbon and renewable energy for our customers and planet. Our success in this important work depends on innovating as well as partnering with you, to use energy wisely with energy efficiency and demand response programs. This is our moonshot moment. The best part? We get to lead it for our customers, our state and the planet!

That's one way to clear out the derelict houses in Detroit. Just burn them for heat.

Needless to say, the affected areas (mining) almost all voted Republican in the last election...
The democrat vote (what wasn't entirely fictional) was mainly in the cities of the lower peninsula, an only in Marquette Co. in the Upper...

I'm from Michigan, and I don't recall there being much coal mining there. I suppose there could be, because I lived in an oil-patch region of the state so there's petroleum.
Maybe the title of the article is bogus, and they're not writing about production at all, but rather consumption. :shrug:
