Michigan’s Net Zero Energy Legislation: Unnecessary, Expensive and Dangerous

“These mandates will raise energy costs by $1,500 to $2,750 per household, according to new research from the Mackinac Center. The move away from reliable and affordable electric service will cost the people of Michigan between $206 billion and $386 billion by 2050.

Our modeling indicates that net zero mandates with wind, solar and battery backup pose serious risks to consistent electric services. A grid based on wind, solar and battery would expose Michigan residents to repeated service interruptions and blackouts.”
