Largest battery storage facility in Great Lakes region could be forced on Ludington area thanks to ‘clean energy’ mandate
Plans are in the works for a massive 500-megawatt energy storage facility near Ludington that’s expected to dwarf the largest similar facility in the Great Lakes region by nearly double.
Amber Township Supervisor Tom Alway told Crain’s Grand Rapids Business officials are “doing our due diligence to learn more about” the proposal from NextEra Energy, the same company that owns Florida Power & Light, the largest electric utility in the country.
“We’re still trying to learn more,” Alway said. “What is the overall impact to the township and county, and just trying to understand the whole magnitude of this project.”
Zoning for the project is overseen by Mason County, though legislation approved by a Democratic government trifecta in 2023 allows the developer to circumvent local approval to apply directly to the Michigan Public Service Commission, comprised of three bureaucrats appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Click here to read more.

The Biden administration pressured at least 11 American airports to house illegal immigrants despite security warnings, a shocking new Senate report revealed Tuesday.
The Biden White House directed the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to identify airports where illegal migrants could be held and processed, according to Fox News, citing the 47-page report, entitled “Flight Risk.” In some instances, the Biden administration asked federal agencies to “divert … resources” to support the illegal migrants.
“The Biden-Harris administration made airports and aviation less secure,” the report states, “by allowing and encouraging aliens to shelter at U.S. airports, by allowing improperly vetted aliens to fly into and throughout the United States, and by diverting needed federal air marshals to the border.” Click here to read more.
