Michigan’s future economy is in alternative energy, experts say

When an expert says something, you gotta listen. And, so, experts are saying that Michigan’s economic future is in alternative energy, energy efficiency measures, and climate-change solutions.

Excerpt: Michigan’s economy could be substantially buoyed by 60,000 or more “green jobs” in response to renewable energy production, increased energy-efficiency measures and other climate-change solutions, according to Michigan and national experts from such organizations as the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) and the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan.
