Michigan Democrats in the House and Senate on Tuesday
released their energy principles, which include increasing the state's
renewable energy to 20 percent by 2022.
The concept is to have renewable energy serve as an economic
boost while also keeping utility costs affordable.
"Through 2014, renewable energy projects have brought
nearly $3 billion in investment to Michigan, and utilities are on track to meet
the 10 percent goal required in current law," said Rep. Bill LaVoy,
D-Monroe, who serves as Democratic Vice Chair of the House Energy Policy
Committee.
