University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) experts are available to comment on the clean energy bills signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Nov. 29.
Liesl Eichler Clark, U-M's director of climate action engagement; Jonathan Overpeck, dean of SEAS; and Michelle Martinez, inaugural director of the Tishman Center for Social Justice and the Environment at SEAS, can weigh in on the package of bills, which will position Michigan as a leader in clean energy production, while reducing emissions and creating new jobs.
"With the governor's signature on the recently passed clean energy legislation, Michigan has leveled up our commitment to a strong, equitable and resilient clean energy economy and will tackle the climate crisis as only a Midwestern industrial state can," said Clark. "This legislation will create high-quality jobs, and the University of Michigan is already off to the races to partner in building the diverse, inclusive workforce needed to power the future.
