Michigan United Statement on Passage of Dirty Energy Carve-out Bills Passed by Michigan House

DETROIT, MI – In response to the Michigan House’s passage of House Bills 4007 and 4283, which reclassify gas-fired power plants as “clean energy,” Audrey Gerard, Michigan United’s Northern Michigan Regional Manager, issued the following statement:

“Today’s vote is a betrayal of Michigan’s clean energy future. Lawmakers who supported this bill chose fossil fuel profits over people, corporate carve-outs over climate action, and misinformation over science. Calling gas plants ‘clean’ doesn’t make them sustainable. It just masks the harm and misleads the public.

“This legislation undercuts the bold steps we took last year to lead the nation in renewable energy investment. It doesn’t help U.P. families. It locks them into dirty, high-cost energy for decades to come. At a time when we should be accelerating toward a just and affordable energy transition, the House took a step backward.

“The Senate must reject this reckless attempt to greenwash fossil fuels and protect Michigan’s clean energy laws from corporate loopholes and false solutions. Michiganders deserve a future powered by real clean energy, not more pollution, higher bills, and broken promises.”
