Governor Granholm, the state governor for Michigan, has written an article for Newsweek Magazine in which she states that the future for state is battery powered.

_{Could domestic battery production help the US auto industry to survive?}

In keeping with some of the recent overtures of the current administration, Granholm talks of a brighter future for America’s auto industry in which Michigan-made electric vehicles will help break America’s dangerous addiction to foreign oil. She even goes as far as to talk openly about a “leaner, greener auto industry”, one which will be better for the American nation on security, economic and environmental fronts.
