“This is the ultimate clean energy comeback - the strongest climate action yet in the moment we need it most. Congress must pass it without delay." - @ManishBapnaNRDC https://t.co/SEitM2BbRb

[MI Public Service Commission @MichiganPSC]

The MPSC just posted two new positions. We’re looking for smart, collegial folks to serve as advisers to Commissioner Tremaine Phillips https://t.co/7dewXytgyf and Commissioner Katherine Peretick https://t.co/FxJqv6zS7y. Come work with a great team!

[U.S. Climate Alliance @USClimate]

The Alliance’s governors have a simple message for Congress:

Pass a robust legislative package with the climate & clean energy investments & incentives our country needs to confront the climate crisis.

There is no time to waste.

Thousands of Michigan residents have already told @MichiganPSC we’re ready to say goodbye to fossil fuels. Add your voice today to make sure @ConsumersEnergy keeps its promise to go coal-free by 2025! https://t.co/vhMmUq47gr #FossilFreeMichigan

[Samantha Williams @Samwilliamsnrdc]

The biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in West Michigan is @ConsumersEnergy’s Campbell coal-burning plant – and you can help shut it down. Tell @ConsumersEnergy to keep its promise to close Campbell by 2025! https://t.co/l0iteqqCsB #FossilFreeMichigan

Direct incentives, like an electric vehicle rebate, "are crucial to making EVs a more attractive option for consumers who may be on the fence," said NRDC's Michigan clean energy advocate @DerrellNrdc. "We look forward to working with @GovWhitmer & her team." #MISOTS22

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

During Michigan @GovWhitmer's State of the State, she prioritized an electric future for the auto manufacturing industry by proposing a way to make #ElectricVehicles more affordable 👇

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

My proposed electric vehicle rebate will lower the cost of electric vehicles by nearly $10,000 when combined with the federal tax credit. We can make it easier for Michiganders to go electric. #MISOTS22

[DerrellSlaughterNRDC @DerrellNrdc]

Great win for Michigan with the $7 billion-dollar EV investment from @GM! Great leadership from @GovWhitmer #MISOTS22

[Stephanie Chang @stephanielily]

Loving the @GordieHoweBrg shoutout in the @GovWhitmer State of the State address! Huge infrastructure project that is creating lots of jobs right in my district. Have been supporting #bridgewithbenefits from my first day in office. #infrastructure

[DerrellSlaughterNRDC @DerrellNrdc]

Huge investment by @GM in electric vehicles and the state of Michigan!

[WXYZ Detroit @wxyzdetroit]

General Motors will be announcing a new plant in Orion and Delta Townships near Lansing that will create up to 4,000 new jobs for Michiganders.

Along with adding jobs, it also plans to spend $6.5 billion at the two plants in the state. https://t.co/Sq1Oz6uaqM

We can double down and create more jobs by passing the Build Back Better Act! @RepSlotkin

[NRDC Action Fund @NRDC_Action]

Why should Michigan support @POTUS’ #BuildBackBetter plan?

One answer: Electric vehicles. Transportation is the #1 source of climate pollution & if passed, the plan will invest in union jobs, charging stations, & clean transit.

Our new study on the wood pellet supply chain quantifies “lifecycle” emissions in each step. SPOILER: forest biomass is not carbon neutral. https://t.co/4yZdfFzBeW
