AS LIFE LONG TREE HUGGER I HAVE TO HOPE THAT THIS APPOINTMENT WILL MEAN A NEW DIRECTION FOR ENERGY DEVELOPEMENT IN MICHIGAN.. THE THREAT OF BEING A DOWNWIND, SENIOR CITIZEN, BREATHING EMISSIONS FROM A COAL PLANT, IS HORRIFYING TO ME AND MY FAMILY .. I HAVE PURCHASED GREEN CREDITS (PAYING PREMIUM ON ENERGY BILL) TO HELP ALONG OUR MAJOR UTILITY SWITCH TO RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES.. I KNOW THIS IS SLOW WORK I ALSO REALIZE THAT 10% IS CONCILLIATORY IN NATURE GERMANY WILL SOON BE 45% FRANCE IS NEARLY 100% NUCLEAR ETC. WE ARE STILL DRAGGING OUR FEET . SEEMS WE ARE FAR FROM BEING WORLD LEADERS ANYMORE... SINCERELY
