From Cheboygan to Monroe, Michiganders Understand the Connection between Energy and Security
By Brendan FlynnDriving through farm country on our way to Monroe for our last event in Michigan, a man on a tractor saluted the bus.
This seemed a fitting end to our time in the Great Lakes State. From the clean energy businessman who sought us out after he saw the bus parked in Traverse City, to the retirees at UAW Local 651 that Larry and Robin got fired up about clean energy jobs, to the lady at the Monroe VFW who served us mostaccioli and then offered to bring our message to the next meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, we were greeted at every turn with great Midwestern warmth and hospitality.
It’s clear that Michigan sees the great potential for clean energy to revitalize the manufacturing sector and put people back to work. I think we’ve done our part to make sure that Michiganders understand the direct relationship between our energy policy and our national security, and that we need to stop funding both sides of the war.
Next up, the Buckeye State of Ohio.
