Fighting to Lower Energy Costs
for Michigan Industry

About ABATE

ABATE is a trade association for large industrial customers that have high energy costs.

ABATE was formed more than 20 years ago to represent the industrial viewpoint before Michigan and federal regulators and to lobby the Michigan legislature and Congress on energy related matters. ABATE’s goals are to have regulated rates for energy commodities equal to the providing utility’s cost of service, and to promote competitive markets for energy where no single seller or group of sellers can control market prices.

MERCURY FACTS
Recent estimates of annual total global mercury emissions from all sources - both natural and human-generated - range from roughly 4,400 to 7,500 tons per year. Human-caused U.S. mercury emissions are estimated to account for roughly 3 percent of the global total, and U.S. coal-fired power plants are estimated to account for only about one percent.
