LETTER: Michigan Healthy Climate Plan by EGLE is obsolete
The updated MI Healthy Climate Plan Report (The Plan) shared by the Michigan Department of Environmental, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is behind the times by 1-5 years.
The original release in 2022 set a goal to become carbon neutral (CO2) by 2050. The goal was driven by the false political agenda of the “Green New Deal” to address the “global warming crisis”.
Under the MI Healthy Climate Plan, electricity becomes less abundant (scarce), unreliable (wind and solar), and more expensive. Note that the Michigan Public Services Commission goal is to provide electricity that is abundant, reliable, and affordable.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removed carbon dioxide (CO2) as a dangerous Grean House Gas pollutant in 2025 under the Trump Administration. Actually, carbon dioxide is a fundamental greenhouse gas in the cycle of life. Carbon dioxide is to plant life what oxygen is to animal (human) life.
EGLE needs to revise the Michigan Healthy Climate Plan of 2025.
