Democrats Calling For Higher Renewable Energy Standards

Michigan Democrats in Lansing have unveiled an energy proposal for Michigan that includes a requirement that 20 percent of Michigan energy should come from renewable sources by 2022.

The current law requires the figure to be 10 percent by the end of this year, a standard that has been reached.

That differs from Governor Snyder’s proposal which stops short of saying the standard should be specifically increased, although he does propose that Michigan should be getting 30-to-40 percent of its energy from a combination of renewable energy and energy waste reduction, by 2025.

The governor made his comments during an energy address last month.
