Which Way Will the Wind Blow in Michigan?
The Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center and the University of Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute received state grants to explore the feasibility of offshore wind turbines on Lake Michigan while Scandia Wind and Havgul Clean Energy have already proposed a massive offshore wind farm. All this and bills addressing industrial wind power on the Great Lakes.

Solar Explosion: Solar Energy in Michigan
"Many people think that solar won't work in Michigan because it's too cold and it doesn't get as much sun as other places, but that's misconstrued. Michigan has an average of 4.2 hours of peak sunlight per day each year. Florida, the 'Sunshine State' only has about five hours."

Michigan Says YES to Sulfide Mining
Michigan regulators gave final approval Thursday to a nickel and copper mine for the Upper Peninsula, despite opponents' fears it would pollute streams that feed Lake Superior and provide habitat for a rare type of trout. The mine is a sulfide mine or acid mine and this will likely be the first of many in the Upper Peninsula.
