The Likely Energy Scenario If We Remain With the Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo : More Like the UK than South Africa For the Next 5 YearsThe Likely Energy Scenario If We Remain With the Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo : More Like the UK than South Africa For the Next 5 Years
I have purposefully not said we would have blackouts this summer, this winter, or the coming several years if we remain on the current Consumers Energy/MPSC “Net Zero” track.

Solar mostly survives on government subsidy; thankfully the New Republican Tax Bill appears to be ending the solar credit. It is time for Consumers Energy to save money and significantly cut its solar programs, as well as use some Campbell power at elevated rates for a data center, so that residential rates can be decreased. Or else Ottawa County townships should explore leaving Consumers Energy.Solar mostly survives on government subsidy; thankfully the New Republican Tax Bill appears to be ending the solar credit.

The Importance of a Strategy Likely of Legal SuccessThe Importance of a Strategy Likely of Legal Success

That plant is important, because it provides reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible electric to […]
