The Mackinac Center for Public Policy has calculated the cost of Governor Whitmer’s so-called “Healthy Climate” scheme: $386 billion by 2050.
That works out to an average cost increase of $2,746 per customer, per year, or $229 per month.
“That’s not all: It would expose Michigan residents a greater risk of blackouts,” according to the report, “Michigan’s Expensive Net-Zero Gamble.” “Our modeling shows that relying on a wind‑, solar‑, and battery-based grid could lead to numerous blackouts throughout the year.
“The most prolonged blackout based on the model would last 61 continuous hours during the winter, when Michigan residents need reliable energy the most,” the report read.
