Commissioner Barry summarized the general view well: “Jim Barry is a Republican commissioner who represents Ottawa County’s first district, which includes Port Sheldon Township. He said his questions have been asked and answered.” – https://www.woodtv.com/news/ottawa-county/ottawa-county-considers-legal-action-to-prevent-coal-plant-closure/
Commissioner Teeples echoed the sentiment: “…they plan to replace the Campbell plant with the Covert gas-fired plant…the folks with Consumers Energy have been very forthright with us and we are just trying to get the information out.” – https://omny.fm/shows/talk-of-the-town/ottawa-co-board-update-feb-27
So if everything is essentially ok with Whitmer’s Net Zero agenda being implemented by MPSC/Consumers Energy and Campbell’s closure and demolition, then it only makes logical sense to do nothing substantive to thwart it. The most those of this view would logically be willing to do is pass a toothless resolution and hope the county yahoos are pacified.
But the reality is that there are huge problems with the Net Zero Scam and the Campbell closure that is part of it. The UK, which is much further along in this Net Zero Scam, having already destroyed its coal plants and more, shows how deleterious the agenda is. It drives up energy prices, undermines industry, and makes for a more tenuous grid. It also undermines national security. Competent studies also show this is leading us into danger over the coming years. This is a debate over our energy future that has huge implications.
