In November 2012, Michigan voters will decide six ballot proposals that will impact the state’s future. Governor Rick Snyder is speaking out on those proposals and their consequences:
PROPOSAL THREE – 25-by-25 Mandates
Proposal Three would be bad for Michigan consumers, Michigan families, and Michigan businesses.
It creates a new mandate that forces Michigan to have 25 percent of its electricity come from renewable energy by 2025, and it would cost billions to implement, raise electric bills and make Michigan businesses less competitive. That means fewer jobs for our workers.
Current law sets a goal of generating 10 percent of electricity from renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydro and biomass by 2015. This is a standard that’s already difficult to meet. Proposal Three would set the bar even higher – and we would be the only state to have such a mandate in our constitution.
Yes, renewable energy is important to Michigan’s future. But our state already has a comprehensive energy law that makes sure we have reliable, clean and affordable energy for Michigan families and businesses for the future.
Mandates in the Michigan constitution that we can’t afford to achieve are bad for our economy, bad for our families, bad for businesses and bad for workers.

Why not 100 %// go crazy all the way
Our electric is already to high, that I can barely pay my bill on time. My vote for this will be a big fat NO! This is ridicolus. Michigan does not get enough wind and sun to provide effcient “green” energy.
