JOB Creation will REQUIRE NEW EDUCATION Mandates(Alternative Energy)

The economic impact of wind industry development as the result of Michigan adopting renewable portfolio standards would be significant says a new report released today by the Land Policy Institute at Michigan State University. Based on a comparison of states that have and have not adopted RPS, the study found that there are significant differences in the levels of wind energy development across states as a result of RPS adoption. Considering factors that affect wind energy development nationwide, with the passage of RPS in Michigan, windmills installed in the state are expected to produce 5. The study only considered Michigan jobs tied directly to the construction of windmills and their maintenance, focusing on jobs, investment, wages and earnings, and land lease income tied to wind energy facilities. It did not include impacts from small wind systems and farm systems, implications to component manufacturers, or the secondary economic impacts in other sectors related to wind energy development. Michigan is currently considering RPS legislative adoption to boost renewable energy development in Michigan. read more
