There are plenty of questions about how we’ll generate electricity in the U.S. in the next century. But the problem is particularly pressing in the Upper Peninsula. The owners of the Presque Isle power plant in Marquette are ready to close it.

Andy Balaskovitz has been writing about this for Midwest Energy News. He says many people in the UP are unaware of what is happening, but some who know call it a crisis.
