Michigan Can Be Energy Independent
Michigan has the natural resources to be energy independent—but we're not using them. We have natural gas beneath our feet and natural underground pipelines (caverns) that could store and transport energy. Instead, we import energy and pay higher prices than we should.
Ralph Rebandt will make Michigan energy independent by drilling for our own natural gas, utilizing our natural underground infrastructure, and building Michigan refineries. This will create jobs, lower energy costs, and provide benefits for Michigan residents that other states can't match.
Ralph's Energy Independence Plan
Drill for Michigan Natural Gas
Michigan has significant natural gas resources underground. Ralph will open up drilling to tap into these resources and make Michigan energy self-sufficient.
- Authorize natural gas drilling in Michigan
- Use Michigan's natural gas resources
- Create jobs in energy production
- Stop importing energy from other states
Utilize Natural Underground Pipelines
Michigan has natural pipelines underneath—caverns in the ground that can store and transport natural gas. Ralph will utilize this natural infrastructure.
- Use Michigan's underground caverns for storage
- Natural infrastructure saves construction costs
- Environmentally sound storage solution
- Strategic energy reserves for Michigan
Build Michigan Refineries
Michigan should have its own refineries to process our energy resources. Ralph will support building refineries in Michigan to create jobs and energy independence.
- Build refineries in Michigan
- Process Michigan energy in Michigan
- Create high-paying refinery jobs
- Control our own energy supply chain
Create Benefits for Living in Michigan
When Michigan produces its own energy, Michigan residents should benefit through lower costs and energy advantages that other states don't have.
- Lower energy costs for Michigan residents
- Energy benefits for living in Michigan
- Make Michigan attractive with cheap energy
- Competitive advantage for Michigan businesses
Energy Jobs and Economic Growth
Energy production creates good-paying jobs and drives economic growth. Ralph's energy plan will create thousands of jobs in drilling, refining, and energy infrastructure.
- Create jobs in energy production
- Build refinery and drilling careers
- Support energy industry growth
- Economic development through energy
Energy Security and Reliability
Relying on other states for energy leaves Michigan vulnerable. Ralph will ensure Michigan has secure, reliable energy that we control ourselves.
- Energy security for Michigan
- Not dependent on other states or countries
- Reliable energy supply we control
- Protection from energy shortages
Energy Independence Means Michigan Independence
When Michigan produces its own energy, we're not dependent on other states, other countries, or Washington bureaucrats. We control our own destiny. Energy independence means economic independence, which means Michigan families and businesses thrive.
The natural resources are literally beneath our feet. We have the caverns for storage, the geology for drilling, and the capability for refining. All we need is a governor with the vision and courage to make it happen. Ralph Rebandt is that governor.
