The Pallisades Nuclear Plant should never have been shut down to begin with, but Michigan's Democrats wanted it shut down as "nukes bad".
The Democrats then realized that if they're going to go to an electric car heavy transportation grid and cut out coal power generation at the same time, their renewable project was not going to be able to cut it and provide reliable power in the face of increasing demand. Do recall that Governor Whitmer was all for shutting it down until she claimed to be against doing so at the last minute when it was too late to prevent the shutdown so she could be on both sides of the fence.
So we get:
The Detroit News: Palisades nuclear plant gets $1.5B federal loan in bid to reopen, a national first
It should never have been shut down in the first place, and Michigan is going to need more nuclear power generation, not less, if the Democrats persist on getting rid of reliable baseline power and replacing it with unreliable solar and wind that can't meet the demand.

Old NFO: Yep I can see the enviros doing that, at the same time they try and ban coal and claim everyone should be in an electric car.
