At the Michigan Energy Fair last week in Novi, John Deere Wind Energy announced it is building three wind farms that will go online in 2012, Waste Management is developing a landfill gas-electric generator and Governor Jennifer Granholm said nine Michigan companies, including one in Manistee, won clean energy manufacturing grants.
