This week, Governor Granholm pitched
Michigan as the prime state for wind energy development to thousands of
global leaders in wind energy. Some experts rank Michigan as the second
fastest growing state for wind energy capacity.
According to excerpts from the story:
Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today
addressed the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) conference in
Chicago, the world’s largest annual wind-energy industry event, touting
Michigan’s successes and potential in the fast-growing industry to
thousands of wind-energy leaders, turbine and supply manufacturers, and
service providers.
“Michigan’s most urgent need right now is
jobs, and our greatest opportunity to bring jobs and investment to
Michigan is to capitalize on our momentum in the alternative energy
industry,” Granholm said. “My economic team and I are pitching Michigan
to the top wind-energy leaders in the world, letting them know that
Michigan’s economic incentives, world-class workforce, and
manufacturing expertise make us the best spot in the nation to locate
their companies. Growing Michigan’s renewable-energy industry is an
essential part of creating jobs quickly and diversifying our economy.”
