Sigh...I’m in Michigan.

These types of “technology dictations” that are based on “future advancements yet to be discovered” should be illegal. There’s nothing that says such a goal can be achieved.

Why not just declare all new cares much reach 200mpg by 2025? The government might make and change laws but NOT The laws of physics!

The ‘renewables’ don’t provide enough energy density. Europe has already proven this. Without nuclear it can’t happen.

I assume this also means that we’ll have to pay for the overhaul of the power grid (lines, transformers, distribution centers, etc.) BEFORE 2040? ...otherwise it’ll all just melt down.

These people are dictating science that isn’t real.

The only way Michigan can hope to come anywhere close to this goal is to go full-in on nuclear power. Which is apparently an allowable option under the bill.

Aside from being costly and unreliable, large-scale wind and solar projects are going to face increasing local opposition in the future. Setting up a three person board, all appointed by the governor, to override all local planning and zoning ... well, that will probably backfire politically. If it stands, it will simply be a matter of the big blue cities outvoting the enslaved hinterlands. Sooner or later, it will be time for the rural areas to fence off the cities, blow up the bridges, water lines, electrical transmission lines, etc., and demand that the cities become self-sustaining. Maybe cut off the food while they’re at it.

“Ban Whitmer instead.”

What I want to know is where in the hell did the people of Michigan dig Whitmer up from and why did they vote for this ‘wanna-be’ dictator. When I read anything about Jezabel (sp) in the Bible, I think of Whitmer and how she must be a copy of Ahab’s wife Jezabel.

Even if climate change was true for every geographical region that gets affected by rising ocean levels there will be even greater areas of the world that previously weren’t inhabitable that wil become productive regions for people to live, as you say the climate of this planet has been evolving and changing since the day it was created

Go back to Detroit in it’s heyday. Tell them that one day Michigan will have a socialist female governor and a lesbian AG who want to ban cars as they are surrounded by radical moslems... who even have a terrorist as a congresswoman.

They would have thought you insane.

She just wants to be president when Joe is taken out. It means nothing. 2040 is so far in the future that their might not be an America at that date.

There are ROMAN docks and ruins under water all around the coasts of southern and western Europe.

Those chariots caused the seas to rise, no doubt.............

Michigan should require all EVs to be charged by wind and solar energy in the near future.

Isn’t it strange that all the DEM edicts are to ‘go into effect’ LONG after the current bill signers are out of office & even possibly no longer alive???

How about I sign papers to BUY Mar A Lago-—in 2050.

I am only 84 right now.

Even if, for sake of argument, you want to say that we should all be driving electric cars, there is no way our electrical grids could handle hundreds of millions of electric cars charging as of today.

Even if, for sake of argument, you want to say that we should have electricity generated by windmills and solar, we do not have the ability to generate all of the power that we use by those methods as of today.

This is all true. However,

Aha! Another racist unmasked! (/liberal)

If a woman were to declare that she intended to divorce her husband at a fixed date in the future, should he just wait out the marriage, hoping for a turnaround, or should he reply along the lines of "You got the 'what', but I have the 'when'" and just divorce her immediately? I think that we can all agree that once such an unfriendly declaration is made, there is no longer any need for the pretense of civility.

The fuel industry should just boycott Michigan right now. It's nearly December and winter in the upper Midwest usually provides shut-ins the perfect conditions for rumination.

Dem governors like to appoint secretaries of state who promote cheating. Funny how that works.

Somebody needs to introduce Gruppenfuehrer Whitmer to United Solar, a Michigan based solar panel manufacturer.

Their entire factory was on the grid. Zero of it used their own products to produce power for their plant.

H wait, she can’t meet them. They went bankrupt.
