Address Michigan's energy needs

House Democrats will tackle the state's looming energy shortage and promote renewable energy and conservation. We have introduced an aggressive plan to establish Michigan as a 21st century powerhouse of renewable energy production, which will attract cutting-edge industries, boost our economy and create 21st century jobs for our workers. House Democrats aim to decrease Michigan's dependence on foreign oil, fight global warming, and help protect our Great Lakes and Michigan's other natural resources. We also are spearheading efforts to increase the use of renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.
