The Great Lakes Bay Region may be on the forefront of the alternative energy surge in Michigan but some folks are seeing red rather than green.Regional leaders of a movement to reduce energy use and expand renewable energy efforts here Thursday night presented some of their initial ideas to about 100 people at Saginaw Valley State University's Curtiss Hall.
Bay County's Laura Ogar, as lead presenter, outlined some strategies for getting people to act more eco-conscious, which, she and others say, also leads to significant economic development. Most in attendance were buying, but some expressed reservations.
"I don't believe in the whole green thing," said Bay City resident Marianne Koerber. "I jotted down key themes from the presentation like financing, grants, groups ... what happens when the grant funding runs dry? Who pays for it then? It shouldn't be about making us feel better. There's personal choice and other factors in play here."
The concerns and comments from Mrs. Marianne Kroeber is precisely why we at Solar Fusion are all about doing what makes sense and "Cents". “The increase in exposure and education over the past few years coupled with increased incentives and decreased costs will ignite the solar energy business throughout the World”. Says VP of Solar Fusion Ken Boyle, "Additionally we will see in 2011 an increased in companies that offer energy-efficiency solutions (which Solar Fusion offers) for corporations, which is THE most cost effective way to save money with the quickest and highest ROI". Increasing efficiency is nothing new, CEO's are always looking for more efficient ways to increase productivity and reduce costs, Energy-efficiency is that area that CEO’s must look at” – states Ken Boyle VP of Solar Fusion
Called the Great Lakes Bay Regional Energy Efficiency, Conservation and Renewable Energy Strategy, Ogar said the initiative owes its origins to grant money awarded to states, including Michigan, from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus package.
