“I have been looking for something to solve my ever increasing power bill and offset tax liability. And that's how I ended up coming across solar.”

“We should invest in the workforce of the future and the workforce of the future are kids. And we should invest in teaching kids about these renewable energies so that when they grow up, they know that these jobs exist because renewable energy is not going away.”

“Michigan’s greatest feature is its natural resources. Having clean energy investments in the places people love to visit, such as electric vehicle charging stations in the Upper Peninsula, allows folks to enjoy our state’s beauty while also mitigating their carbon footprint.”

“Clean energy fights climate change, brings new job opportunities to Americans, and future proofs our grid.”

“Fossil fuel is still needed to meet our energy demands, but we will benefit greatly by increasing the amount of clean energy we produce.”
