Michigan Republicans Propose Bills to Eliminate Clean Energy Mandates

Michigan Republicans Propose Bills to Eliminate Clean Energy Mandates

Michigan House Republicans have introduced legislation to eliminate the state's clean energy law, which mandates 100% renewable power by 2040. A second bill aims to cap distributed energy sources, such as rooftop solar, at 1% of a utility's total energy sales. This move is seen as a threat to community solar programs like Ann Arbor's Solarize, which has significantly increased solar installations. Republican Rep. Pauline Wendzel argues the bills prioritize reliability and affordability, while Democratic Rep. Tonya Myers Phillips criticizes utilities for frequent rate increases.

Chicago Breaks 77-Year Rainfall Record Amid Severe Storms

Chicago has set a new rainfall record, breaking a 77-year-old mark as severe storms continue to impact the Great Lakes region. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the record was broken at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, where 2.43 inches of rain fell, surpassing the previous record of 1.21 inches set in 1949. The heavy rainfall has led to widespread flooding concerns, with several rivers reaching major flood stages in Wisconsin and Michigan. Flood-related advisories and warnings are in effect from Iowa through Michigan, including Illinois. Meteorologists warn that the saturated ground makes the region vulnerable to further flooding, and even moderate rainfall could lead to water accumulation on streets and low-lying areas. Emergency managers are advising residents to stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
