The Environmental Protection Agency is poised to roll out a final “Clean Power Plan” rule that puts new mandates on states to cut carbon emissions.
In Michigan, the governor is already mapping out a plan for energy, which includes cutting energy waste and using more renewable energy and natural gas.
Depending heavily on natural gas has raised some questions, as gas prices can — and have — fluctuated wildly and there are criticisms about its extraction and they recently point to potential pollution issues and even earthquakes.
However former Michigan house member Dan Scripps, who now heads the Institute for Energy Innovation notes the governor’s plan to include waste reduction and renewable fuels can help control the effects of fluctuating natural gas prices.
