Energy Task Force Recommendations: Part 1 – Propane Supply ii Gov. Whitmer forms U.P. Energy Task Force On June 7, 2019, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued Executive Order 2019-14, noting that Upper Peninsula residents were incurring some of the highest electricity rates in the nation. The Governor directed the U.P. Energy Task Force to consider all available information and make recommendations that ensure the U.P.’s energy needs are met in a manner that is reliable, affordable, and environmentally sound. Her goal was the development of policies that would lead to the implementation of real energy solutions to rein in high rates and provide relief to hardworking U.P. residents. The charge to the task force from Executive Order 2019-14 is as follows: 1. Assess the U.P.’s overall energy needs and how they are currently being met. 2. Formulate alternative solutions for meeting the U.P.’s energy needs, with a focus on security, reliability, affordability, and environmental soundness. This shall include, but is not limited to, alternative means to supply the energy sources currently used by U.P. residents, and alternatives to those energy sources. 3. Identify and evaluate potential changes that could occur to energy supply and distribution in the U.P.; the economic, environmental, and other impacts of such changes; and the alternatives for meeting the U.P.’s energy needs in response to such changes. The Executive Order is attached as Appendix I. A list of presentations and listening sessions is attached as Appendix II. Part I of the report focuses on the short-term steps the state could take in reaction to a disruption of propane supply to Michigan customers. Part II of the report evaluates the U.P.’s energy needs through a broader lens to ensure the U.P.’s energy needs long-term are met in a manner that is reliable, affordable, and environmentally sound. iii Letter from Chairperson The residents of the Upper Peninsula “deserve an energy supply that is affordable, secure, and environmentally sound.” Those were Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s words and vision when she created the U.P. Energy Task Force in June 2019. The exceptional geography which makes the U.P. such a spectacular place to live, work, and play has also hindered its infrastructure development and contributed to market dynamics that expose U.P. families and businesses to some of the nation’s highest electricity rates and energy supply vulnerabilities. The Governor called on the Task Force to recommend alternative solutions for meeting the U.P.’s unique energy needs that will overcome those challenges. This Task Force report, Upper Peninsula Energy Task Force Committee Recommendations: Part II – Energy Supply, makes 16 such recommendations for action by the Governor, State Legislature, and state agencies. They include solutions to promote enhanced planning and coordination among energy providers; support the transition to cleaner, more advanced energy supplies; expand opportunities for regional economic growth; and advance environmental justice for all U.P. residents. Importantly, this report is part of a larger conversation. It is informed by the Task Force’s initial focus on analyzing the U.P.’s use of propane and what a propane supply disruption might mean to residents and businesses. That work was summarized in the Task Force’s April 2020 Part I report to the Governor. This second Task Force report will also inform broader ongoing discussions about Michigan’s energy future across our two peninsulas, including those that will shape the MI Healthy Climate Plan. To be developed by the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) with support from the recently appointed Council on Climate Solutions, the Plan will serve as Michigan’s roadmap to fulfilling Governor Whitmer’s commitment to 100% economy-wide decarbonization by 2050. Understanding how to make this transition work in all areas of our state will be key to this effort, and the work of this Task Force will help ensure the U.P.’s unique energy realities, needs, and concerns remain front and center in that process. I want to thank the 19 members of the Task Force whose hard work made this report possible. They gave freely of their time, expertise, and creative thinking and remained steadfastly committed to our mission despite the uncertainty and upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. They deserve the thanks of all Michiganders for their service. Many others also contributed to this report and its recommendations by giving technical presentations at the Task Force’s ten virtual meetings and/or providing public comment. Their civic-mindedness, engagement, and insights into the U.P.’s complex energy systems were invaluable and demonstrated why we achieve the best outcomes when all voices and perspectives are heard. iv As Task Force deliberations made clear, delivering affordable, reliable, secure, and environmentally sound energy solutions for U.P. families and businesses will not be easy. But as Governor Whitmer frequently says, Michiganders know hard work and are up to the task. If anything, that’s especially true for those who call the U.P. home. May this report provide sound direction for that hard work. Liesl Eichler Clark Chairperson, U.P. Energy Task Force Director, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy v U.P.

The overall population estimates for the U.P. have been relatively consistent since the beginning of the 20th century; however, the population has steadily fallen from its peak in 1920. Demographers estimate that by 2040, the population will decline by an additional 13,000. The region’s overall population is also aging, with the proportion of the population age 75 and older projected to double in the coming years. While overall the population is dropping, urban areas in Houghton and Marquette Counties have grown from 2000 to 2017. The remaining 13 U.P. counties have all experienced population declines over the same period. The U.P. has also seen growth in the number of seasonal housing units constructed. Overall, seasonal housing accounts for 22 percent of all housing units and up to 50 percent in certain counties. Home Energy Use Characteristics 57 percent of U.P. households use natural gas as the primary fuel source for home heating (Census Bureau 2019). Despite being the dominant fuel source for home heating, natural gas service is not available everywhere in the U.P., and many households outside of more populous areas are still reliant on propane,

  • Rethinking Presidential Power—The Unitary Executive and the George W
    Rethinking Presidential Power—The Unitary Executive and the George W. Bush Presidency. Paper prepared for the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association April 7-10, 2005 Chicago, IL Christopher S. Kelley, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Miami University Oxford, OH [email protected] Abstract: Since the Nixon administration, modern presidents have had a difficult time relying upon the traditional powers of bargaining and persuading offered by the “Modern Presidency” theory of presidential power. As a result, presidents have relied on numerous unilateral actions in order to protect the prerogative of the office and to advance the president’s policy preferences by controlling the executive branch. The “unitary executive” theory offers such an explanation of presidential behavior that some regard as “imperial.” In this paper, I explain what the unitary executive theory is, how it has developed, and how the current Bush administration has fully embraced the theory in helping it govern since the very first day of office in 2001. I will focus on the use of signing statements, executive orders, and the OIRA to advance the administration’s objectives. Keywords: Unitary Executive, Signing Statements, Executive Orders, OMB, OIRA Dana Milbank, the former White House reporter for the “Washington Post,” wrote in an October 11, 2004 column profiling David Addington, Vice-President Cheney’s counsel, about an obscure theory of presidential power that permeated the Bush White House. The article described the detail to which Cheney and Addington had paid to preserving presidential power, from the now-famous “torture” memo to international law governing torture to withholding information about the energy task force formed in 2001 to deal with the country’s energy problem.

  • The Aral Sea
    The Aral Sea edited by David L. Alles Western Washington University e-mail: [email protected] Last Updated 2011-11-4 Note: In PDF format most of the images in this web paper can be enlarged for greater detail. 1 Introduction The Aral Sea was once the world's fourth largest lake, slightly bigger than Lake Huron, and one of the world's most fertile regions. Today it is little more than a string of lakes scattered across central Asia east of the Caspian Sea. The sea disappeared for several reasons. One is that the Aral Sea is surrounded by the Central Asian deserts, whose heat evaporates 60 square kilometers (23 sq. miles) of water from its surface every year. Second is four decades of agricultural development and mismanagement along the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers that have drastically reduced the amount of fresh water flowing into the sea. The two rivers were diverted starting in the 1960s in a Soviet scheme to grow cotton in the desert. Cotton still provides a major portion of foreign currency for many of the countries along the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers. By 2003, the Aral Sea had lost approximately 75% of its area and 90% of its pre- 1960 volume. Between 1960 and January 2005, the level of the northern Aral Sea fell by 13 meters (~ 43 ft) and the larger southern portion of the sea by 23 meters (75.5 ft) which means that water can now only flow from the north basin to the south (Roll, et al., 2006).
