The Michigan Senate on Thursday adopted a plan to overhaul
the state's energy policy, keeping a 10 percent cap on energy choice and
establishing a 15 percent renewable requirement by 2021.
Senate Energy and Technology Chair Mike Nofs, R-Battle
Creek, has been working on the bills for two years. He said the final product
took into account a lot of viewpoints and was not 100 percent what any one
entity wanted, including him.
"I believe we have crafted a policy that balances a
broad and wide range of interests and addresses the key elements that will
serve our state well for many years to come," Nofs said.
