Michigan Gov. Snyder delivered a speech on Energy and Environment at Michigan State University on Wednesday about the three pillars of energy, including reliability, affordability and a protected environment.
When it comes to energy efficiency, Snyder referenced the Michigan Saves nonprofit program that helps both public and private organizations make energy improvements with financing, grants and partnerships with private sector lenders. Energy conservation efforts, while they require an investment of time and resources upfront, is a long-term plan for saving money both for consumers, businesses and the state government.
