Clean energy should not be treated like a privilege.

Michigan is making impressive strides toward building a clean energy future. Legislators have introduced proposals to cut pollution and grow the economy by investing in 100 percent, carbon-free electricity by 2035. These proposals deserve our full support because they also do something that utilities and policymakers traditionally neglected: help ensure that underserved, under-represented communities also enjoy the benefits of a clean energy future.

What does this mean?

It means that lower-income households and communities of color have access to solar energy resources.
