Michigan faces a push to overturn its new clean energy law as local leaders launch a petition campaign. The law, passed by Democrats, allows the state's Public Service Commission to bypass local zoning rules for large solar and wind farms. Local officials argue that this new provision in the law undermines their control over zoning, thus, impacting community life without fair compensation. Critics also fear the law favors big corporations. However, the Commission Chair, Dan Scripps, assures that the communities will be heard before zoning rules are overridden. He highlights the state's commitment to renewable energy to combat climate change, targeting 50 percent renewable energy adoption by 2030 and 100 percent by 2040.
