Michigan’s Energy Future: Affordability and Climate Resilience Panel Discussion

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 12:00 pm - Join IPR and Grist for this panel discussion.

This November’s election will bring Michigan to a critical moment for its energy future: from the ongoing Line 5 controversy, to some of the highest electric rates in the country, to the aging infrastructure of dams that are vulnerable to floods and extreme weather – the election choices of Michiganders will impact energy sourcing, rates, and climate resiliency.

Join Grist and Interlochen Public Radio for a virtual event that will explore Michigan’s energy and the decisions behind it. Panelists will cover some of the most pressing topics including the Line 5 controversy, dam infrastructure and resiliency, utility rates, and more.

The event will be moderated by IPR's Ellie Katz and will feature:
Vivian La, IPR/Grist climate reporter
Daniel Brown, Huron River Watershed Council
Wenona Singel, MSU law

Date: October 20 at 12:00 pm Eastern
Format: Zoom webinar hosted by Grist
