  • In a settlement announced Wednesday, DTE Energy has agreed to stop using coal-fired power by 2032
  • That’s three years earlier than previously planned
  • It still doesn’t align with a state goal to ditch coal by 2030.

Personally I don't see nin nuclear options as viable. Solar and wind have abysmal capacity factors, that require absurd overprovisioning or massive gains in storage. Neither of which is all that likely to happen soon. Gas is better than coal
