Michigan, a state geared
Michigan is a state geared for auto making, but why can’t they reconfigure for a new more sustainable industry? They are, or at least they’re trying to. Governor Granholm is attempting to re-gear ex-auto plants into wind turbine plants. It’s good for Michigan especially if the green revolution actually takes off. It’s good for the nation because the current major manufacturers of wind turbines are in foreign countries, giving us an opportunity to bring jobs home. Re-gearing happened in WWII when auto manufacturing plants contributed to the war effort to make machines of war. Today, Michigan seeks to contribute once again, but this time to creating machines of sustainability for both environment and economy.
