On Friday, the Michigan Board of Canvassers gave the green light to circulate petitions to put the question of Michigan generating 25% of our energy from renewable sources by 2025 on the ballot for this November. You may be thinking, "hooray, yet another board of something approves another thing," but you'd be wrong; this is big news. It is a milestone for the campaign to create tens of thousands of well-paying Michigan jobs. A striking example of what this proposal means to Michigan occurred up north this week when a wind developer called off its plans to build a wind farm.
