Michigan's green energy plan could send Michigan into darkness

As Michigan pushes toward a greener energy future, a proposed solar project near Gaylord has raised concerns about the vast amount of land required to meet the state's renewable energy goals.

The plan involves converting a 420-acre parcel into a solar farm, which, according to local estimates, is equivalent to 105 Walmart parking lots. "If you scale that up to 1,000 acres, you're looking at 250 more parking lots. That’s a total of 355 Walmart parking lots worth of land just in this area," explained one observer, illustrating the project’s scale.
