Joseph Parnell McCarter, Georgetown Township, volunteer leader of SaveTheCampbell effort. More and more Ottawa County citizens are coming to realize just how bad the Net Zero Agenda is for us, not only in terms of grid reliability and cost, but also in terms of the dangers with a growing number of massive lithium ion battery […]

Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) like Consumers Energy and DTE in Michigan dominate the electric utility sector, despite the notable presence and success of Cooperative Owned Utilities (COUs) and Public Owned Utilities (POCs).

We need to cut off the money train that funds the Net Zero Agenda’s dangerous battery plant and solar panel field developments in Ottawa CountyWe need to cut off the money train that funds the Net Zero Agenda’s dangerous battery plant and solar panel field developments in Ottawa County

The Whitmer-appointed MPSC rewards Consumers Energy executives and investors handsomely to aggressively pursue the Net Zero Agenda. Flush with that money from electric rate […]
Have the Ottawa County residents within each 5-mile radius evacuation zone of a planned battery storage plant been informed? Do Ottawa County citizens realize many more battery plants likely come if we go along with the Net Zero agenda?Have the Ottawa County residents within each 5-mile radius evacuation zone of a planned battery storage plant been informed? Do Ottawa County citizens realize many more battery plants likely come if we go along with the Net Zero agenda?
A massive battery storage plant has a major impact on a locality’s safety profile, property values, and other aspects. As noted here, “one BESS has the explosive power of 17 tons of dynamite with a blast radius of 2 miles and an evacuation radius of 5 miles due to toxic fumes which could contain hydrogen […]

This is not […]

Dear Allendale Township Board Members, I encourage you to read about that Blendon Township meeting here: https://savethecampbell.com/local-citizens-turned-out-in-large-numbers-to-express-their-opposition-to-the-proposed-battery-plant-in-blendon-township-as-part-of-the-net-zero-agenda-congratulations-to-those-who-got-the-word-out/ . Trustee Schuitema’s comments there were very encouraging, including her call for the township boards of Ottawa County to work together to stop this.
