LOL Check this out and keep in mind that this is only for 25% renewable energy. We're talking nearly 16,000 windmills if we want to power the whole state.

Proposal 3 would require that the state add as many as 13 times more wind turbines in Michigan than currently operate. Proposal 3 would mandate that 25 percent of Michigan’s energy come from renewable sources. Wind is expected to be the primary supplier of renewable energy if the proposal passes.

Advocates and experts predict 2,300 to 3,790 nearly 500-feet high wind turbines would have to be added to meet the 25-percent mandate. Michigan currently has 292 wind turbines in operation.

Is the UAW building wind turbines?
This smells more like corporate/union welfare than it does “green” energy....
