Renewable Energy Advocate Falsely Claims Industry is Not Supported by Taxpayer Dollars [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

Renewable Energy Advocate Falsely Claims Industry is Not Supported by Taxpayer Dollars [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:

"An advocate of renewable energy claimed in a recent Detroit News op-ed that Michigan does not subsidize "clean energy." Dan Scripps, president of an industry trade association called the Michigan Energy Innovation Business Council, wrote: “It is important to clear up another point: Michigan does not subsidize renewable energy. Clean energy, including wind and solar, receives no subsidies from the state of Michigan.”

The claim is contradicted by several sources."
