Michigan Unions Launch Statewide Labor-Climate Coalition

February 13, 2026 Cameron Harrison, People's World. , , , , ,
Lansing, Mich.—Union leaders representing over a million Michigan workers stood together on Tuesday to launch the Michigan Climate Jobs Coalition (MICJ), a new alliance dedicated to ensuring that the state’s transition to a clean energy economy is built by and for the working class. The coalition, announced at a press conference in Lansing, unveiled a detailed 17-point policy blueprint developed with Cornell University’s Climate Jobs Institute. The plan is a direct challenge to corporate-driven climate agendas, insisting that the jobs of the future must be union jobs, and that tackling the climate crisis must address soaring energy costs, inequality, and community health.

Plan For Aging Gas Pipelines Runs Up Against Energy Transition

November 1, 2024 Sharon Kelly, DeSmog. , , , , ,
If you ask Chicago’s gas pipeline utility, Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company, or PGL, the best way to fix the problem of leaks from underground gas pipelines, their answer is the most ambitious option — running new, upgraded plastic pipelines throughout the city, leaving their old network of leak-prone iron pipes behind. Consumer watchdogs, however, are calling foul. A newly published report by the Illinois Citizens Utility Board (CUB), a nonprofit utility watchdog established by the state legislature, finds PGL’s cost projections underestimate how expensive and time-consuming those upgrades would be, while massively overestimating how costly other options might be.
