Michigan to End All Coal Production, Expand Solar in Name of Climate Change
Breitbart ^ | 04/22/2022 | Penny Starr

Posted on 04/22/2022 3:24:15 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

On what authority does the attorney general of Michigan has to do with this?? This is just infuriating and I don't even live in Michigan.

Freezin’ in the dark!

I’m sure the lesbian lawyuh freak known as Nessel will be able to figure out how to provide 3 phase AC to everyone on a nice 20 below morning in the Upper Peninsula!

They’ll spend hundreds of millions and then do what Democrats do best: fail. And then blame everybody else.

Sure, if there’s a state I think of when it comes to unremitting solar energy and cloudless days, it’s...(checks notes; coughs)... Michigan.

Solar will be great in the Winter in Michigan.
Sub zero temps, with panels completely covered by snow.
Maybe they can make some thermocouples...

An entire state run by a dysfunctional city. Remarkable. Without Detoilet, Michigan is as red a state as Texas. Sad.

Minnesota and Wisconsin Are About the Worst States To Put Solar Panels, Research Shows

This is why Minnesota’s mandates for solar panels make no sense. Capacity factors are low, and low capacity factors have huge implications for cost. Considering solar panel owners have stated that it is “too expensive” to clear snow off of solar panels, how can anyone seriously argue that building solar in northern states is a good use of ratepayer resources? Can you imagine not being able to use your car in the winter because there was snow on the windshield?

If there is a “year without a summer” again, we would be in very serious trouble if things have been converted to solar and wind without any backup. Nuclear power would be essential for survival in such a scenario if we want clean and cheap reliable energy.

Well, the imbecile NevaDUH voters voted to be 50% by 2030 and all in 100% by 2050 into the NevaDUH revised statutes. Not sure if its a felony if the goals aren’t met. 😕 SMDH. IIRC 54-46. Enough to become “law”. Fidiots!
