"Shorting the Great Lakes Grid"

Jason Hayes joins Michael Patrick on Michigan's Big Show to discuss research on the impacts on net zero on the Midwest's electric grid.

Here’s the audio of my August 15th interview with Michael Patrick Shiels on Michigan’s Big Show. MPS and I discussed the recent release of our study, “Shorting the Great Lakes Grid” and how the rush to decarbonize our electric grid is leading to higher electricity prices and less reliable utility service.

You can download the full report from the Mackinac Center’s website.

You can see our August 9 WSJ article “Walz’s Climate Policies Could Leave the Midwest in the Dark.”

You can access the audio library of past issues of MI’s Big Show on the Spreaker website or the Apple Podcast app.

Once you’ve listened to the discussion, let me know what you think about elected officials like Governors Walz and Whitmer mandating net zero policies like these? Are they an essential means of addressing the “climate crisis,” or are the endangering the health, wealth, and (physical and economic) well-being of North Americans?
