Members of the Michigan Legislature have issued a report calling for the state to seek oil and gas leases on 5.3 million acres of state land, according to a story today by Jim Harger at the Grand Rapids Press.

Harger’s story said:

“The report also called for the repeal of a 2008 law that encourages utilities to create incentives that conserve energy consumption.”
