Abstract
An examination of the environmental benefits of an expanded RPS in Michigan find that, with higher coal retirements, significantly more natural gas is displaced by the expanded RPS, thereby reducing the emissions mitigation potential. This illustrates how the environmental benefits of renewable energy are dependent on the system into which it is integrated.
