Good news: A federal judge denied the Farm Bureau and other agriculture groups the right to join @EPA in a lawsuit over Lake Erie cleanup. This clears the way for environmental groups to keep fighting toxic algae blooms and hold agencies accountable. toledoblade.com/local/environm…

Let’s be clear: the Tax Bill is a disaster for the environment and federal deficit. @nytimes article shows how it cuts clean energy investments and adds to the deficit. This is a big step backwards costing jobs and cleaner air for the Midwest and nation. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Before you dive in this weekend, check for water quality alerts. E. coli contamination is an increasing threat across Midwest lakes. Read more on how to stay safe and why clean water protections matter more than ever. elpc.org/blog/going-to-…

On Independence Day weekend, families should be enjoying the lake, not worrying about water contamination. But E. coli levels have closed beaches across northern Illinois, from Lake Michigan to inland lakes. We need stronger protections for clean water. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/s…

“We can have economic development and clean air and water. It is a false trade-off.” @ELPCenter’s Rob Michaels highlights what is at stake as Indiana leaders move to roll back environmental protections. These executive orders are short-sighted. indystar.com/story/news/env…

The federal court rejection of a constitutional challenge to the Swampbuster protections could help wetland protections nationwide. @ELPCenter attorneys engaged in court to protect clean water, wildlife and ecosystems. @GreatLakesNow explains the issue. youtube.com/watch?v=CCCCXy…

The Trump Administration wants to repeal the Roadless Rule, opening Midwest national forests to logging. That means losing protections for places like the Chequamegon-Nicolet and Shawnee National Forests. We must protect these public lands. elpc.org/news/trump-adm…

Absolutely right, @SenatorSlotkin. Michigan and Midwest families shouldn’t bear the cost of keeping an unnecessary coal plant online. The DOE’s order undermines years of planning and drives up pollution and energy bills.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin@SenatorSlotkin

DC may not care who pays to keep this plant open unnecessarily, but Michiganders do. All because this Admin. decided to override a state plan. It may cost millions to keep it running, and eventually, those costs will be passed on to consumers. mlive.com/environment/20…

EPA’s proposed rollback of power plant pollution rules could add emissions equal to 300 million cars. @ELPCenter’s Brian Lynk breaks down the public health and economic costs in this Illinois NPR interview. Worth a listen. publicnewsservice.org/2025-06-23/env…

Midwest ratepayers may be stuck with the cost of running the J.H. Campbell coal plant past its planned retirement. Higher bills for more pollution is moving in the wrong direction. Midwesterners deserve clean, affordable energy. utilitydive.com/news/campbell-…

Summer means sun, sand, and swimming. But before you head to the beach, check the water. Bacterial contamination is closing beaches across the Midwest and putting health and summer fun at risk. Smarter water systems can help. 🔗elpc.org/blog/going-to-…

The J.H. Campbell coal plant was set to retire—but the DOE intervened, overriding state regulators and keeping it open without justification. It’ll cost ratepayers nearly $100M and spike pollution. ELPC and our allies are fighting back. elpc.org/news/ten-group…
