FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DETROIT, Mich. – Butzel Long attorneys and shareholders Richard P. Manczak and Jeffrey D. Moss co-authored an article that appears in the January 2011 edition of the Michigan Bar Journal.

By 2015, 10 percent of Michigan’s energy must come from renewable sources. Nationwide, eight percent of energy produced is renewable source energy, but Michigan is below five percent renewable.
