More than 20 states, including California, Louisiana and New York, have adopted energy targets that aim to eliminate or offset emissions over the next two decades.
More than 20 states, including California, Louisiana and New York, have adopted clean energy targets that aim to eliminate or offset emissions over the next two decades.
More rigorous targets from states and territories, including Rhode Island, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, require their electricity sectors to transition completely to renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar and hydropower.
Michigan’s 100% clean energy target, defined by Senate Bill 271, directs state utilities to transition 60% of electricity generation to renewables.
Energy sources such as nuclear power, hydrogen fuel and natural gas coupled with carbon capture are allowed to count toward the remaining 40%.
Some environmental justice advocates took issue with the bill for allowing fossil fuels to qualify as clean energy and criticized carbon capture technology for its inefficiency and high cost.
In October, a coalition of three Michigan-based nonprofit groups published a letter condemning the package for failing to “adequately reduce greenhouse gas emissions while bringing more pollution to Black, Brown, Indigenous and poor communities.”
