MORE ON WHITMER’S PLAN: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is calling for a 100% clean energy standard to be passed by state lawmakers – here’s a bit more from the big news this week…
The Senate proposal: While we won’t be able to tell you what’s in the House bill, we can certainly draw breadcrumbs from recent proposals that have been introduced. Senate Democrats have introduced their own package that’s even more aggressive than the governor’s proposal. It would phase-out coal-fired electricity generating plants and require utilities to meet the state’s electricity needs using 60% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% clean energy by 2035.
Nesbitt said that the party plans on using these proposals to campaign against Democrats as the Michigan state House is up for reelection in 2024 – which could potentially affect the political calculus for passage under the House’s slim majority, depending on when the package stands for a vote in the House.
The administration is now seeking $16 billion to replenish funds for the Federal Emergency Management Fund’s Disaster Relief Fund, which is expected to run out in September. The administration previously sought $12 billion, coupled with $24 billion in aid to Ukraine to help defeat Russia. Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove's bill would require the state to report carbon emissions from oil imported from foreign countries. It also would direct the Energy Commission to monitor whether oil comes from countries with fewer environmental regulations than the United States and a record of human rights abuses.
While on the subject of the Golden State… California regulators approved a proposal to inject more natural gas at Sempra Energy’s Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility – the site of the wost methane leak in U.S. history. While the bill is still being written, Casar said the bill would connect Texas to the national electric grids, arguing Congress has the legal authority to enforce this requirement to “protect consumers, improve electric reliability nationwide, and safely regulate commerce.”
GOP opposition: After the outages caused by Storm Uri, GOP Gov. Greg Abbott and other local conservative leaders blamed the outages on renewable energy, which made up 28% of the energy used at the time, and decried the idea of Texas’s grid being forced under federal regulation.

Whitmer backs plan to use 100% 'clean energy' in MichiganGov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is asking lawmakers to pass a 100% clean energy standard, a move that will allow Michigan to join a slew of states that have previously set similar policies for reducing carbon emissions from the power sector.

Striking gold with molecular mystery solution for potential clean energyHydrogen spillover is exactly what it sounds like. Small metal nanoparticles anchored on a thermally stable oxide, like silica, comprise a major class of catalysts, which are substances used to accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed themselves. The catalytic reaction usually occurs on the reactive—and expensive—metal, but on some catalysts, hydrogen atom-like equivalents literally spill from the metal to the oxide. These hydrogen-on-oxide species are called 'hydrogen spillover.'
