this was New York’s race to lose with our 2019 climate law, and we have lost, pals idk who is in the lead, but can we get a w00t for Connecticut for empowering a public utility regulator to actually serve climate goals and ordinary ratepayers?

Portland, OR is in theory, but they also sued the reporter who asked them how they are spending their giant climate slush fund, so there’s that.

Michigan is a contender. My electric utility is closing its last coal-fired power plant! Consumers Energy offers look inside its last coal-fired power plant before shutdown www.mlive.com/environment/...

Consumers is months away from retiring its last coal plant in Ottawa County, abandoning the fuel for good in 2025.

As a Michigander, I’m un peu worried that Michigan will bubble to the top here. Our problem is, however, a too-big chunk of our climate action is happening through an economic development lens. It leaves huge blind spots.
