October 19, 2009 - Fred joins WMU President Dr. John Dunn and lead researcher John Patten to announce $1 million to boost Western Michigan University’s pioneering efforts to create green jobs. The $1 million that Fred fought for in the House will support collaborative activities among the university, industry and community to enhance economic and workforce development, and provide technology transfer in green engineering, helping to create jobs locally as green technologies are adopted. Fred is strongly committed to helping Western Michigan University position itself at the forefront of revolutionary green technologies. Fred has also delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars for WMU’s core lab to develop carbon capture and sequestration technologies as well as important funding in the research and development of algae biofuels.
