I support locally produced renewable energy for the following reasons:
-
Economic Growth: Solar projects generate new local jobs and help improve the local economy and small businesses.
-
Community Investment: Michigan communities would benefit from new local tax revenue each year which could provide funding for critical initiatives, such as local schools, roads, and public safety.
-
Private Property Rights: Landowners have the right to lease their own private land.
- Energy Independence: An “all of the above” approach to energy production ensures Michigan is more energy independent.
I believe that renewable energy is an important investment in our state’s future. I support its implementation for the betterment of our community.
