Today the Green Machines Tour was at the Capital in Lansing, MI to watch the Governor’s Renewable Fuels Commission present their recommendations to the state legislature. The Commission has been hard at work for the past 8 months debating policies to promote biofuels in the state. The Green Machines Tour’s Charles Griffith was appointed by the governor to be on the commission, and he fought to incorporate recommendations that would ensure the sustainability of biofuels. What came out of his and the other commissioners’ efforts is a broad set of regulations and incentives that would propel Michigan into a leadership role in the bio-energy sector – but only if the governor and legislator act on them.
