Start looking for a LOT more stories like this across the state.

The legislation passed in December '23—Public Acts 233 and 235—is based on @GovWhitmer's "MI Healthy Climate Plan." That plan and those bills mandate that the state increase its reliance on wind and solar from 15% to 60% by 2035.

So we will have to increase our use of wind/solar by 4X. MPSC chair Dan Scripps testified before legislative committees last year that meeting that goal would take over 209,000 acres of the state's farm and forested land.

So, 420 acres near Gaylord + 1,000 acres in Iosco Twp = 1,420 acres.

We only have another 207,580 acres to go.
