Organization’s Social Mission
The Michigan Apollo Alliance brings together a diverse coalition of interests from the business, environmental, labor and community perspectives who are working together to promote quality jobs and a cleaner, more secure energy future for Michigan. We seek to devise and support policy initiatives and reforms that will reduce dependence on foreign oil; cut carbon emissions; help America lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing; and create a new generation of well-paid, green-collar jobs for people across America. Michigan’s world-class manufacturing infrastructure and workforce poises the state to become a leader in providing parts for renewable energy equipment, train workers for green-collar jobs, promote conservation, innovation and use of renewable energy.
How Michian Apollo Alliance Helps the Community
Together, the organizations that make up the Michigan Apollo Alliance are pursuing a “Good Jobs, Energy Independence, Make it in America” policy agenda. The Michigan Apollo Alliance will work to enact policies that achieve or facilitate the following:
- Develop a robust renewable energy manufacturing sector in Michigan by providing incentives and access to capital for companies diversifying into clean energy
- Ensure state government leadership on energy efficiency and other state policies that will drive demand for the clean energy economy in the state
- Train Michigan workers in advanced energy skills, from installation to engineering, and create green career pathways for workers transitioning into this new economy
