Michigan Outlines Aggressive Energy Plan
It appears Michigan's governor Jennifer Granholm (D) is pulling no punches when it comes to environmental issues. She has already done so much for the cause, and plans to expand upon it, according to her State of the State address last night.
In addition to the backing of an energy efficiency effort that has already saved the state $60 million, she announced a goal of weatherizing more than 100,000 homes and placing renewable energy technology in another 1,000 buildings. A new program, entitled Michigan Saves, will work together with utility companies to cover the costs of these improvements. The reasons for this attention to energy efficiency has a deeper purpose than simple money savings; Granholm states that all of these changes will contribute to a better alternative of coal-fired power plants in Michigan.
