How did you find us?: I have been following the Trump Administration’s energy efforts, which are in fact inspiring what we are seeking in Ottawa County, Michigan for our JH Campbell generating plant. We have relied on its executive orders to delay the plant’s closure, and now we seek it to help us secure the plant’s long-term use for energy and technology needs. Many local leaders and citizens support this.
