That will just drive up Michigan’s energy cost and continue the state’s steady relative decline since manufacturing jobs will not return thanks to this stupidity. Well done Michigan.
Like Laura Ingraham says in regards to illegal immigration, we had no say in this.....
Their is more going on here IMHO....
* Lake MI has Billions of barrels of Oil under it. It is too politically incorrect to go after it, Steyer's runs the block here.
* Fracking. Yes MI has Oil & Gas and Shale, again he runs the block.
* Higher energy cost means less revitalization of Mining in the UP....
The if a modern extraction program was initiated in the UP, it would be the 8th richest country in the world. Wrap your head around that one.
Someone needs to tell this chap to sell crazy someplace else, and shame on the Utilities here for not having the balls to tell him to take a hike.
15% of our energy here comes from a gas fired Jet-Turbine-Boiler Combined Cycle facility in Midland Michigan.
Their are more combined cycle and gas plants slated to be built or are being built here in MI. Again Steyer's needs to take a hike here. We are finally getting are sea legs after getting our @$$es kicked for 30 yrs and he wants to nix it?
BTW, the Shale formation here is Antrim....
The boom-bust cycles of fossil fuel and the boom-bust effect on the US economy will eventually disappear
