Michigan Democrats led by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are leading an aggressive effort to rapidly transition the state to green energy, a push that closely resembles the Green New Deal proposed at the federal level by progressive lawmakers.
Democrats in the state’s House and Senate — which are both simultaneously under Democratic control for the first time since the 1980s — have proposed and, in some cases, passed various pieces of energy-related legislation expanding top-down control over renewable energy development and establishing some of the most aggressive clean energy goals in the nation.
