Renewable prices decline so lawmakers think we need less…. you read that correctly
Key Michigan lawmakers are proposing to lower the amount of renewable energy that the state would be required to use just as renewable energy prices are declining.
Michigan is in the throws of transitioning its source of electricity generation, similar to much of the Mid-West. Coal and nuclear units are aging and the utility owners want to continue to operate them, some without any new investments to reduce their emissions and pollution.
Competition to utility power exists but it must compete against not only price and environmental costs but against politicians who want to continue the same-old-same old.
Clean energy is our future. The transition will be managed. Keeping standards high so they can be met and at a lower cost should be applauded not reduced.
