Grand Rapids’ ‘Crap Plan’ Exposes Green Energy Failure and Rising Costs - Steve Goreham (podcast)

from Justin Barclay · host WOOD Radio

Justin sat down with Steve Goreham, author of Green Breakdown, to expose what he calls the “crap plan”—Grand Rapids’ new Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. While city leaders push lofty goals of cutting emissions 63% by 2030 and 100% by 2050, Goreham warns the plan won’t move the needle on global climate but will jack up Michigan’s already sky-high energy prices. They broke down how wind and solar mandates strain taxpayers, why Michigan’s electricity costs have surged nearly 60% since 2008, and how AI data centers are set to fuel massive new demand—driven not by “green” energy, but natural gas and a renewed push for nuclear power. From restarting plants like Palisades to exploring modular nuclear reactors, Goreham argues the real future is reliable, affordable energy—not government-forced green schemes.Get the stories from today's show in THE STACK: https://justinbarclay.comNew gear is here!
