It may be lights out in Michigan by 2032.
That’s the prediction from federal regulators, regional grid officials, and a new study of the impact of “net zero” energy plans in seven Great Lakes states. [emphasis, links added]
The research, conducted by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, analyzes the electricity plans of 38 large, investor-owned utilities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, including 32 that have pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.
Three states, including Michigan, set net zero goals in state law, with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November 2023 signing legislation that targets net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
