Now I have read through my comments since I've been on RightMichigan, and realized that I am quite a negative nelly.  I mean, I never have anything positive to say about anything... positively Eeyore.

And I realize that being a conservative means I just want to be left alone, and that we only get fired up when something bad is happening, and I hate to admit it, but--- I have a problem with green energy and government subsidies.

Here's the question that needs to be asked:

What is it about a windmill turbine, or a propellor, or a solar panel, or anything else that encompasses green energy that can only be made in Michigan?

Not even Indiana or Ohio, or Vietnam or China, but Michigan.

See, the automobile is going the way of the Do Do bird in this state, and O Ring manufacturers can't build new production lines because the DEQ won't approve mining in the U.P., and we can't seem to build new coal plants so that leftists can twitter each other on their blackberries about how "the GOP is anti environment and wants to destroy the world" cheaply anymore... and mom and pop restaurants and dry cleaners just saw their business tax liability go up something like 800%... heck, we can't even build washing machines.

But solar panels? Now you are talking.

Notice that the House voted for tax incentives...

Which makes sense.  I mean, we need to draw in businesses that are fad industries and are going to go belly up in a few years w/o massive government subsidies.

 And who cares about the guy that just opened a coney island, or the lady who just opened a used bookstore, or the immigrant who came in to open a grocery store, or yet another Lansing politico who opened up their own consulting business... you guys are stuck here. Enjoy that surcharge.

But, once these green companies start up, I"m going to make a prediction.  Unless this state gets rid of onerous regulations, and gets the tax burden under control, and continues to look for new and exciting issues to make it impossible to turn a profit:  in ten years or less, every windmill in this state will have a stamp on it, probably hidden to not offend the sensibilities of those that worked so hard to determine the future for all of us:
