Proposed Energy Bill in Michigan

I've just received a glitzy flyer in the mail touting the benefits of a proposed Michigan energy bill, so of course I looked it up, downloaded the introduced copy as well as the House Fiscal Agency Legislative Analysis. Haven't read it yet, but am wondering if anyone has any knowledge of some of these terms, or experience with the processes, which are alleged goals.    Apparently this bill was introduced in March, 2015 but hasn't wound its way through committees yet.   After reading some of the verbage, I suspect there's a strong economic support from unknown parties and especially companies, but it's some of the terms that make me wonder what's really behind all this.

These are some of the stated goals:

Revise the purpose of the (Clean, Renewable, and Efficient Energy Act) act by eliminating a reference to 'energy optimization and energy efficiency' and add as one of the goals 'the removal of unnecessary burdens on the appropriate use of solid waste as a clean energy source.'     (Note the use of terminology "unnecessary burdens".)

Allow fuel manufactured from municipal solid waste, among other waste sources, to be a "renewable energy resource" and revise the definition of the term.   (Note the "revise the definition" of the term.)

Allow for the use of pyrolysis technologies in the generation of renewable energy. ("Pyrolysis" is not defined in the bill but generally refers to a high-temperature, oxygen-free process to make biofuels from a wide range of agricultural, industrial, and municipal solid waste.)    (Is this another polluting process?)

Remove the prohibition on granting a renewable energy credit for energy generated from municipal solid waste incinerators by exceeding the incinerator's nameplate capacity.     ("exceeding?"   and "nameplate capacity?)

The proposal to create energy from municipal solid waste is the first issue that raised red flags, although I admit that I know nothing about it and have added it to my research list.

I'm not at all familiar with "pyrolysis technologies" to generate renewable energy.    Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?   Again, I'll be checking it out but am wondering if someone in another state is familiar with the issues.  

Nameplate capacity is something equally intriguing.   Again, more research.

EPA apparently definies municipal solid waste as:

"Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)—more commonly known as trash or garbage—consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries."

Note the paint and batteries inclusion.

Given the sponsors, and the early advance publicity, I can't help thinking that there's a coalition of companies behind this, with the goal in mind not that they'll produce clean energy but that they'll be able to get in early and establish a monopoly, and a foothold on an aspect of energy production.      Whether Michiganders will benefit is anyone's guess.

Or maybe I'm just not up to speed on the issue of municipal solid waste; I confess it isn't the most fascinating topic, but apparently it's going to become an issue.

Thanks for any thoughts, including ones advising me that I might just be concerned over nothing.
