Conservation groups in Michigan are welcoming the Biden administration s commitment to environmental protection, while energy companies are decrying what they see as a return to burdensome regulations.
President Biden issued executive orders last week canceling the Keystone XL pipeline and bringing the U.S. back into the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Tim Minotas, the legislative and political coordinator for the Sierra Club Michigan Chapter, felt the policies are crucial for the state, which continues to feel the climate impacts of increased rainfall and flooding, as well as deterioration of Lake Michigan s shores. These executive actions really will protect our public lands, water and coasts, and make great strides towards environmental justice and including those voices into any climate work, Minotas explained. We look forward to working with them, and creating a more clean and sustainable future.
