The countdown is on! Starting April 1, Michiganders will be free to power their homes with solar, EV chargers, heat pumps, and more without Homeowners Association (HOA) bans. This is a big win for clean energy!

Elevate’s delegation made it clear in D.C.: Clean energy investments aren’t just good for the environment—they’re good for the economy, too. From job creation to lower energy bills, we’re fighting for a brighter future for every American.

It’s official! As of today, Michiganders living in Homeowners Associations (HOAs) have the legal right to make their homes more energy efficient.

This will allow people to reduce their energy and water usage, save money, and help people live healthier lives, all while protecting the environment!

HOLY SHIT! Did you see the end of 60 Minutes tonight?

"What is it about building a new health clinic and upgrading wastewater infrastructure for my constituents in Thomasville, Georgia that is inconsistent with administration policy?" Thank you Ossoff's Office for grilling Lee Zeldin on canceling EPA environmental justice funding!

Why should Michigan ratepayers be forced to prop up out-of-state coal companies? We should be generating our own electricity, not relying on expensive, imported coal.

Thank you to Planet Detroit for publishing this piece from Elevate CEO, Dr. Anne Evens. Dismantling the Inflation Reduction Act is a mistake that will cost Michigan communities, raise your energy bills, and cede our economic dominance to other countries.

Slashing $7B in Solar for All grants is a setback to working families and our clean energy future. States have already invested. Communities are counting on it. Pulling funding now wastes taxpayer dollars and forces families to choose between basic needs. bit.ly/40XqRlP

The cost of gas used to generate power has jumped more than 40% in the first half of 2025. Guess how much the cost of sunshine has jumped? 0% Sunshine is free and will always be free☀️ npr.org/2025/08/16/nx-…

$15,914. Every. Single. Hour. That’s how much it costs to force the outdated Campbell coal plant to stay open. Trump’s coal order doesn’t make our electricity more reliable, but it does make our bills higher and our air more polluted.

A decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit protects furnace standards set to reduce heating costs for many households-- saving households replacing an inefficient furnace with a new model an average of $350 over the life of the furnace. appliance-standards.org/document/court…

We’re celebrating our Tribal Team in delivering clean energy upgrades and solar installations for 145 homes, strengthening comfort, savings, and energy sovereignty.

Did you know that Michigan recently increased registration fees for electric vehicles? The $260 annual fee is the highest in the nation, sending a bad signal to automakers while penalizing drivers. Urge your senator to fix the fee: bit.ly/reversefeehike

50+ Michiganders braved freezing rain and icy roads to fight for affordable clean energy in Lansing. Their message? Everyone deserves access to Community Solar – whether you rent, live in an apartment, or can't install panels on your roof. Take action: win.newmode.net/memj/community…
