The MDNRE has denied Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative&#8217;s air permit application for a new 600-megawatt power plant in Rogers City to be fueled by petroleum coke and coal. The decision was based on MPSC findings that the plant was not needed to meet future supply needs and would increase electricity rates by more [...]]]></description>

In December 2008, Detroit Edison issued an RFP for renewable energy credit (REC) contracts from Michigan sources. It received 43 proposals from 11 suppliers. In April, the MPSC approved the third REC contract submitted by Detroit Edison, this one with Boyce Hydro Power, LLC. The average price for the seven-year sale covering four [...]]]></description>

Research at U of M has led to a recent discovery in understanding how to chemically break down the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into a useful product&#8211;carbon monoxide. The studies have figured out a way to efficiently make this chemically occur using sunlight. Carbon monoxide is a desirable chemical that can be used [...]]]></description>

There is little doubt that the energy resources to be developed in Michigan are dependent on the state and national response to climate change and global warming.  Energy and greenhouse gases are inextricably linked.  It is disapointing to see that the international community is unable to coalesce around targets and strategies on glabal [...]]]></description>
