Energy & Climate Change

To build a better future for Michigan we must rise to the challenge of climate change by cutting our carbon pollution and encouraging clean energy.

The need for unified action on climate change is clear.  Michigan is already seeing greater climate-related health impacts along with weather extremes that hurt our food growers and more severe rain events that pollute our Great Lakes with sewage overflows.

MEC is working to tackle climate change at its source -- our reliance on fossil fuels.  By passing forward-thinking policy at the state-level that reduces our dependence on dirty energy and promotes renewable energy at the local level, we’re laying the framework for a clean energy economy that will reduce energy costs for families and protect public health and the environment for future generations to enjoy.

Promoting Clean Energy

Cleaner, cheaper, healthier energy is here. It’s time for Michigan to commit to 100% renewable energy to combat climate change, protect public health and boost our economy.
