Clean Energy

The transition to clean energy doesn’t just happen; it happens when people like you show up.
Across Michigan, local communities are making decisions that will shape our clean energy future, and your voice matters.
Right now, there is a battery storage site proposed for Comstock Township called Swan Battery Energy Storage Facility. When completed, it could store nearly 200 MW of clean, renewable energy. On Thursday, August 13, the Comstock Township Planning Commission will consider this project that can help support renewable energy, strengthen our electric grid, and move Michigan toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
Why It’s Important:
Fossil-fuel funded disinformation is driving opposition. As a result, too often local officials hear only from people opposed to these projects. That’s why it’s so important that they hear from supporters of clean energy. A strong, respectful public presence lets decision-makers know that their community cares about climate solutions and a healthier future.
Environmental groups are asking people to attend the Comstock Township Planning Commission meeting and voice their support to help shape the fate of this project. Can you help us demonstrate community support for clean energy?
Whether you choose to speak or simply attend, your presence matters. Every person in the room helps demonstrate that there is broad community support for clean energy solutions.
