50+ Michiganders braved freezing rain and icy roads to fight for affordable clean energy in Lansing. Their message? Everyone deserves access to Community Solar – whether you rent, live in an apartment, or can't install panels on your roof. Take action: win.newmode.net/memj/community…

"We need stable policies that keep energy affordable, create local jobs, and ensure that every Michigan community can share in the benefits of a cleaner, more reliable future." – Laura Sherman, @MI_EIBC bit.ly/44LpY1h

Did you know that Michigan recently increased registration fees for electric vehicles? The $260 annual fee is the highest in the nation, sending a bad signal to automakers while penalizing drivers. Urge your senator to fix the fee: bit.ly/reversefeehike

We’re celebrating our Tribal Team in delivering clean energy upgrades and solar installations for 145 homes, strengthening comfort, savings, and energy sovereignty.

A decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit protects furnace standards set to reduce heating costs for many households-- saving households replacing an inefficient furnace with a new model an average of $350 over the life of the furnace. appliance-standards.org/document/court…

$15,914. Every. Single. Hour. That’s how much it costs to force the outdated Campbell coal plant to stay open. Trump’s coal order doesn’t make our electricity more reliable, but it does make our bills higher and our air more polluted.

Solar for All is under attack. This $7B program is meant to cut household bills by $400 a year and expand clean energy access for nearly 1M families. The EPA is trying to cancel it — threatening affordability and equitable access nationwide. We joined partners in sending letters to Attorneys General in 21 states – including AZ, CA, FL, MI, NY, and NC – urging them to fight back. But every state is at risk. Families everywhere need affordable, clean energy. Read the letters and take action here: votesolar.org/solar-for-all-…

The cost of gas used to generate power has jumped more than 40% in the first half of 2025. Guess how much the cost of sunshine has jumped? 0% Sunshine is free and will always be free☀️ npr.org/2025/08/16/nx-…

Slashing $7B in Solar for All grants is a setback to working families and our clean energy future. States have already invested. Communities are counting on it. Pulling funding now wastes taxpayer dollars and forces families to choose between basic needs. bit.ly/40XqRlP

Thank you to @PlanetDetroit for publishing this piece from @ElevateNPO CEO, Dr. Anne Evens. Dismantling the Inflation Reduction Act is a mistake that will cost Michigan communities, raise your energy bills, and cede our economic dominance to other countries.

Why should Michigan ratepayers be forced to prop up out-of-state coal companies? We should be generating our own electricity, not relying on expensive, imported coal.

"What is it about building a new health clinic and upgrading wastewater infrastructure for my constituents in Thomasville, Georgia that is inconsistent with administration policy?" Thank you @SenOssoff for grilling Lee Zeldin on canceling EPA environmental justice funding!

HOLY SHIT! Did you see the end of @60Minutes tonight?

@MichiganLCV @GovWhitmer @DetroitTransit @Soulardarity @ElevateNPO Thanks for following our press conference! Check out the full press release: bit.ly/memjearthday #MICleanEnergyFuture

@MichiganLCV @GovWhitmer @DetroitTransit @Soulardarity "Undoing these laws would be a mistake. We cannot afford to move backward and must move forward together.” - Mike Berkowitz, @ElevateNPO

Elevate is deeply alarmed about the decision by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to fire the entire staff at LIHEAP. Read our full statement here -  bit.ly/3Ej9SC5

This will allow people to reduce their energy and water usage, save money, and help people live healthier lives, all while protecting the environment!

It’s official! As of today, Michiganders living in Homeowners Associations (HOAs) have the legal right to make their homes more energy efficient.

Elevate’s delegation made it clear in D.C.: Clean energy investments aren’t just good for the environment—they’re good for the economy, too. From job creation to lower energy bills, we’re fighting for a brighter future for every American.

The countdown is on! Starting April 1, Michiganders will be free to power their homes with solar, EV chargers, heat pumps, and more without Homeowners Association (HOA) bans. This is a big win for clean energy!
