Michigan is currently at a crossroads to secure our economic and energy future. Bold, immediate leadership is required to bring new industries to Michigan - including clean, alternative energy sources like advanced batteries, wind, energy efficiency and solar power - before other states position themselves as the leaders and draw investment in these emerging industries. By acting now, we can make Michigan a leader and make clean energy the profitable kind of energy.

During the 2007-2008 legislative session a package of bills was passed that begin to put Michigan on a path to a cleaner energy future. However, Michigan's incentives for clean energy investments are not as strong as our Midwestern neighbors let alone the national leaders.

Michigan has the resources to lead the nation in clean energy innovations that have the power to transform our economy. We must put stronger policies in place to encourage far greater investments. In addition, current law does not do enough to address the need for rapid investment in energy efficiency, which has proven to be a simple, cost-effective policy that spurs immediate job creation, reduces energy consumption, and saves business and residents significant amounts of money.
