Natural gas has many advantages for baseload electric, but we dare not depend upon it exclusively for our baseload electric, given availability and pricing challenges as a result of severe weather and geopolitical crises. For energy security, we need the combination of coal and natural gas as our major sources of baseload electric. Nuclear also […]

“You need to have a plan to replace these before you just take them offline. We think it would be best to keep this plant online to keep the reliability of the grid what we’ve come to expect,” Rob Shelley, Grand Haven Board of Light and Power general manager, said.
Who will pay for the high cost RWE and KCE projects that will produce unreliable electric? We, West Michigan Consumers Energy customers, will!!Who will pay for the high cost RWE and KCE projects that will produce unreliable electric? We, West Michigan Consumers Energy customers, will!!
The dirty little secret is that RWE and KCE will get their money from Consumers Energy, who will be buying the unreliable electric that these solar panel and lithium ion battery projects produce. Consumers Energy is already dramatically raising its prices to its customers to pay for its Net Zero agenda. So we, the Consumers […]
Zero pollutant emissions from our county’s Campbell complex is a realistic goal, but CO2 is NOT a pollutantZero pollutant emissions from our county’s Campbell complex is a realistic goal, but CO2 is NOT a pollutant
Significant strides have already been made in reducing pollutant emissions from the Campbell: Additional strides can be made to virtually eliminate pollutant emissions from the Campbell complex by utilizing evolving technology in coal energy processing, converting it to hydrogen gas, and then burning it. But let’s be clear: carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant, but […]
The case for our own locally controlled electric cooperative rather than Wall Street’s Consumers Energy monopolyThe case for our own locally controlled electric cooperative rather than Wall Street’s Consumers Energy monopoly
We should seek the help of the Trump Administration to make this dream a reality. An exploratory committee represented by many township boards, elected public officials, and others of Ottawa County begins meeting in March 2026 to begin information-gathering investigation of this very possibility. By the grace of God, we can get local control of […]
An inside perspective on the Campbell plant: the Campbell is effectively being prepared for death / It needs new ownership to be kept alive and running properly for the long-termAn inside perspective on the Campbell plant: the Campbell is effectively being prepared for death / It needs new ownership to be kept alive and running properly for the long-term
Here is what is being reported to us from an inside source: “Staff there believes with 95% certainty that they will be opened until the end of next winter… I do contract work out there a few times a year. The problem is, it is being run by a skeleton staff and the crew that […]
Our strategy to thwart the Net Zero agenda should not rely on overturning PA 233 alone, but should also include seeking local control of our electric grid via a local electric cooperativeOur strategy to thwart the Net Zero agenda should not rely on overturning PA 233 alone, but should also include seeking local control of our electric grid via a local electric cooperative
Michigan PA 233, which overthrows local zoning in the name of promoting the Net Zero agenda, should be overturned. We should be trying at the state level to overturn it. But Ottawa County Republicans need to also pursue local control of our electric grid with the help of the Trump Administration at the same time […]
