Comprehensive Climate & Energy Reform

From flooding to scorching summer days to more air pollution, Michigan is already experiencing the negative impacts of the climate crisis. But state decision makers can still take action to stave off the worst outcomes.

Michigan’s fight against climate change took a huge leap forward in November of 2023.

The Governor approved landmark laws advancing renewable energy generation, helping consumers save energy at home and creating the foundation for a just transition to clean energy. The six-bill package moved Michigan well beyond the policy status quo and what most major Michigan utilities have proposed in their current long-range energy plans.

Our vision for change

Enact laws that prioritize the transition to cleaner energy, hold utilities accountable for their contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, and lower utility costs for Michiganders.

Include reforms that remove over-burdensome bans and restrictions to renewable energy growth, allow community solar, and remove the cap on small-scale solar.
Require utilities to set affordable rates for low-income customers.
