Jennifer Granholm

Jennifer Granholm is the current Governor of Michigan and a superdelegate in the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

Energy policy
Granholm advocated for a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) in Michigan, which is a policy that requires utilities "to derive a set percentage of their electricity from renewable sources." She supports an RPS "that would require 10 percent of the state's energy to come from renewable sources, like wind, by 2015," saying it would "create thousands of new good-paying jobs for Michigan and its citizens." The RPS was included in Michigan's new Energy legislation, passed in October of 2008.

At the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Governor Granholm led a Town Hall Discussion of Renewable and Alternative Energy Options. The Town Hall is available as a You Tube Video.
