The top 10 states with the largest % electric generation from coal all are red Republican states and all have lower electric costs per KWh than Michigan. Red Republican states consistently have lower electric costs than blue Democrat states, with one salient feature being that they are less plugged in to the misguided Net Zero agenda.

By Joseph Parnell McCarter Per Google AI, here are the top 10 states with the largest % electric generation now from coal: Per Google AI, here is the cost per KWh by state of electricity in descending order: All of the top 10 states with the largest % electric generation from coal have lower electric […]
We need the combination of coal and gas as baseload electric for energy security in Michigan given cold weather eventsWe need the combination of coal and gas as baseload electric for energy security in Michigan given cold weather events
Here is the reality of gas plants alone: “PJM faces greater reliability threats in winter because natural gas plants – the backbone of its generation – frequently face fuel supply constraints and mechanical freezing during extreme cold, according to analysts at consulting firm ICF International,” as noted here. Per Google AI: “Coal is often considered […]

By Joseph Parnell McCarter on 01/24/2026 MISO reports we are now having a Max Gen event! A Maximum Generation (“Max Gen”) event is an emergency declaration by a regional transmission operator (like MISO or PJM) signaling that electricity demand is exceeding, or is about to exceed, available supply. It is an “all-hands-on-deck” situation used to maintain […]
We need local control of our electric grid to make sure we do not get run over by the runaway mine train of the Net Zero agenda combined with burgeoning data centers in MichiganWe need local control of our electric grid to make sure we do not get run over by the runaway mine train of the Net Zero agenda combined with burgeoning data centers in Michigan
The MPSC and its two major monopolies, Consumers Energy and DTE, have sold out to the misguided Net Zero agenda. AI, other data centers are coming to Michigan — and they need a lot of energy and water: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2025/11/07/artificial-intelligence-data-centers-energy-water/87124326007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z115440p003250n11—-c11—-d00—-v115440b0039xxd003965&gca-ft=197&gca-ds=sophi It is time we stand up for our local interests. We should not count on voters […]
We need local control of our electric grid so Consumers Energy/DTE/MPSC cannot run over local interests and concerns in their approach to energy and data centers.We need local control of our electric grid so Consumers Energy/DTE/MPSC cannot run over local interests and concerns in their approach to energy and data centers.
We need to thwart what is happening in Saline Township with the data center like we need to thwart the proposed battery plant in Blendon and the solar development in Zeeland Township. We are making good progress in Ottawa County towards getting local control of our electric grid from Consumers Energy, just like God blessed […]
