Dear friend, As background for today¹s statewide press conferences about the state House Dem¹s new, improved energy legislation, which the new ReEnergize Michigan coalition is supporting, we¹ve posted a quick story and video about the state¹s recent Green Jobs report. The well-researched, terrifically encouraging report counts more than 100,000 green jobs in Michigan and finds huge potential for many more. Yours truly briefly summarizes the report; the video features White House Green Jobs Advisor Van Jones and Michigan Department of Labor, Energy, and Economic Growth deputy Andy Levin explaining how teamwork between Washington and Lansing can create lots and lots of jobs. Here¹s the link: http://mlui.org/landwater/fullarticle.asp?fileid=17346 And do check our Coal and Clean Energy news archive for Michigan¹s most in-depth coverage of this crucial issue: http://mlui.org/landwater/coal.asp?key=7&sub=29&proj=73 And do have a groovy day, too!
