The Two Rivers library distributed an SOS Badger (SS Badger / Lake Michigan Carferry "grassroots") flyer touting the potential of conversion of the ship to CNG and advocating for an extension of permits that allow the ship to dump at least 500 tons of coal ash into Lake Michigan during each operating season.
Owners of the SS Badger would later say that CNG is not a viable option and DTE would disavow any suggestion of an active project collaboration between the two companies.
The cost alone to supply natural gas to the SS Badger has been estimated in the "tens of millions" of dollars.
