Energizing Michigan

Everything we eat, wear, drive and drink depends on energy. Most modern household conveniences and workplace and transportation improvements require some type of energy input. Think about the last power outage you endured – whether it happened while you were at work or at home, it most likely caused a major disruption in your normal activities. Because of the many conveniences provided by energy, demand for all forms of energy in the U.S. is expected to increase by 1.1% per year through 2030.

Though the U.S. has taken its energy supply for granted of late, we’ve recently been jolted by the wildly fluctuating energy prices that left the prices at the pump and on our utility bills at higher levels than we’ve ever seen. We’ve become more concerned about dependence on foreign energy sources, the impact on the environment of certain forms of energy, the growing world demand for energy, global warming, and the depletion of fossil fuels. Furthermore, Michigan is a state that consumes far more energy than it produces. How Michigan responds to this energy deficit situation in the years to come can either positively or negatively affect its citizens. Thus, it is critical to make sound decisions based upon accurate information.

Providing such information is the goal of this website. We seek to assist Michigan residents and businesses to make their decisions regarding energy based on timely and useful information provided here. On this site you will find information on means to conserve energy, new developments in bio-fuels and other renewable energy sources; government policies impacting energy, and future trends regarding energy markets. In addition, you will find a series of timely topics and reports and information regarding forthcoming events related to energy. As energy is continuously evolving, so will this website, so visit frequently for the latest energy information.
