We decided to shake things up a bit to report on the launch of the Energy Innovation Business Council today in Lansing. Instead of our standard blog post, we’re inviting you to check out the highlights of Political Director Ryan Werder’s live-tweets of the event. The Energy Innovation Business Council is a new trade group focused on growing Michigan’s advanced energy industry, and we’re very excited to see what new ideas they’ll bring to the table! You can follow Michigan LCV on twitter here.
