Current State talks with MLive reporter Emily Lawler about potential changes for people who’ve installed solar panels on their roofs and how that ties into a debate over Michigan’s energy future.
The Michigan legislature may have adjourned for the summer, but its members will still have plenty on their plate when they get back from those Labor Day barbeques. Besides finding the money to fix Michigan’s roads, lawmakers are also mapping out the future of energy in the state. The debate over what that future will look like was in the spotlight again last week.
