States with big climate goals strip local power to block green projects

LANSING, Mich. (AP) —
Clean energy developers
had planned a 75-turbine
wind farm in mid-Michi-
gan’s Montcalm County
before local voters shot
down the idea in 2022 and
recalled seven local offi-
cials who had supported it.
About 150 miles (240 kilom-
eters) southeast, Clara Os-
trander in Monroe County
found herself at the center
of a similar conflict as rising
medical costs forced her
and her husband to con-
sider selling land her family
has owned for 150 years.
Leasing a parcel to an in-
coming solar farm could
save the property, but
neighboring residents com-
plained so vehemently that
Ostrander said the town-
ship changed its zoning to
block the project.
Solar panels are seen at the DTE O’Shea Solar Park work in Detroit, Nov. 16, 2022.
