The "Man Who Killed Offshore Wind" Now Targets Michigan Solar, Wind, And Clean Energy Laws
18 Jun 2026 | Abstracted from The Cool Down
The conservative Mackinac Center hired David Stevenson, a longtime opponent of offshore wind while having solar on his house, to push rollbacks of Michigan's clean-energy laws. Stevenson backs keeping coal plants open, which would raise costs for Michiganders, while officials and advocates warn this would delay cheaper, cleaner power and harm communities. Democratic state leaders are fighting efforts to weaken the state's climate goals.
