Balanced News: Michigan wants 100 percent of its electricity to be clean by 2040

Michigan’s state legislature has passed a package of bills requiring 100% of its electricity to come from clean sources by 2040, making it one of the most ambitious targets in the country. The move is seen as a major turning point for a state heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Democrats believe the legislation will address climate change, cut energy rates, create jobs, and attract federal funding, while Republicans argue that the transition away from fossil fuels is too fast and will destabilize the grid and increase costs. Environmental justice groups believe the legislation does not do enough to reduce emissions or protect communities of color.
