As family farms decline and the climate heats up, farmers weigh what to do with their land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Boyer grew up on his family’s 131 acres of rolling fields of corn, oats, and wheat in a rural area near the tiny city of East Jordan in northern Michigan. The farm had changed ownership outside the family several times over the decades before Boyer rebought it in 2018. He felt an obligation to repurchase and farm the land to prevent development from encroaching on the area’s community of family farms. “For any farmer, everything’s personal,” Boyer said. “Every piece of property, every stone
Michigan invests $7.5M to find out if it's sitting on a clean energy gold mine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michigan is investing $7.5 million to research geologic hydrogen — a clean energy source buried beneath the state that experts say could help power a transition away from fossil fuels. That’s because when hydrogen fuel burns, the only byproduct is water. There are no greenhouse gases or other harmful air pollutants emitted, unlike fossil fuels. If used as a fuel or in fuel cells, a large store of hydrogen could help clean up the state’s high-emissions industries, such as trucking and steel as we
US Army Corps approves a pipeline project it knows harms Indigenous lands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This coverage is made possible through a partnership between Grist and Interlochen Public Radio in northern Michigan. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a key permit for a plan to update an aging segment of the Line 5 pipeline crossing the Straits of Mackinac in Michigan, waterways that tribal nations say are central to their ways of life.

Michigan winemakers have a new climate worry: More wildfire smoke (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This coverage is made possible through a partnership between Grist and Interlochen Public Radio in northern Michigan. When wildfire smoke blanketed northern Michigan skies last month, Kasey Wierzba thought the vineyard at Shady Lane Cellars in Suttons Bay looked like a different planet. “That kind of pinky, peachy haze really was filtering through the whole vineyard. The visibility was really minimal,” said Wierzba, the general manager and executive winemaker at Shady Lane Cellars, a winery an
A controversial plan to update Line 5 just suffered a major loss at the Michigan Supreme Court (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a win for opponents of Enbridge Energy’s Line 5 pipeline, the Michigan Supreme Court vacated a key permit last week for a proposed project that would replace a segment of the pipeline running underneath an environmentally-sensitive area of the Great Lakes, finding that a state commission did not examine the full scope of possible harm to the environment. Following the 6-1 decision, the justices remanded the permit back to the Michigan Public Service Commission for a more thorough review, whic
