    A look at alternative energy sources in Michigan

    "For a better view of the economic revival in Michigan, tune in to PBS stations in the state this Wednesday. As part of the Michigan At Risk series, Northern Michigan University professor Dwight Brady has produced a half-hour special called Michigan's Green Energy Economy. The program compares booming renewable energy companies with the downturn in more traditional manufacturing businesses."

    "This program documents the viability of constructing a new economic engine that generates financial incentives for reducing environmental damage rather than exacerbating it."

    "After the broadcast date, Michigan’s Green Energy Economy will be available at WKAR.org for online viewing."

    I've always been an advocate of turning GM's and Ford's dying manufacturing plants in to fab plants for solar and wind devices. That'd be awesome.

    But in the great tradition of SUVs, they'd make solar and wind devices that consumed more power than they produced. You might need an exorcism to remove the evil management spirits from the buildings. :p
