I love this snippet from the Michigan Business Review (via mlive.com) when Thomas Friedman spoke at Eastern Michigan University this past week.

“They all have the same solution: abundant, cheap, clean, reliable electrons,” Friedman said. He added that the country’s slogan shouldn’t be “drill, baby, drill,” but “invent, baby, invent.”

This is exactly what I think! We have one of the greatest seasons of innovation knocking at our door. I hope we are wise enough to go for it.

Thomas Friedman wrote “The World is Flat” and has a new book out, “”Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution - And How It Can Renew America”.

One of the best ways to spread the word about renewable energy in Michigan is word of mouth. It never hurts to have some decent press coverage though. Mark Cryderman of Oceola Township received some decent exposure in this article.

He reminds a little bit of T. Boone Pickens in that he is spreading the word about renewable energy right here in the state of Michigan, stating that today’s youth have everything to gain from green energy.
