Environmental Conservation
"Our environment is a lease from the next generation. At some point, we must return what is borrowed."
-Mark Bignell
Renewable Energy
It is my position that promoting energy independence is critical to our national security. Therefore promoting clean energy policies statewide would enhance our security in the long term. We must transition and have a workable timeline and state law reformation for meeting these goals.
EGLE Reform and Re-empowerment
A strong and effective Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) is a sure way to leaving a better world for our children. We cannot let them down, by handing down a ruined world, for them to grow up in. Our children deserve better. All EGLE oversight boards should be evaluated in order to remove conflicts of interest, that ensure the work of EGLE is not stunted in favor of commerce friendly outcomes. To ignore all other stakeholders, while catering to the whims of a few, would ensure EGLE's mandates go unfulfilled.
