Governor Snyder Unveils Energy Policy

DETROIT (WHTC) – Governor Snyder unveiled his energy policy in Detroit, calling for up to 40 percent of renewable energy use in the state by 2025. He believed that this goal, along with waste reduction, is achievable through less reliance on coal, but didn’t say if he would be pushing immediately for legislation to mandate his agenda. Establishing a state energy policy has emerged as a major topic in Lansing, with electric companies voicing concerns over possible shortages due to new federal guidelines.
