MICHIGAN - With skyrocketing crude oil prices much of the nation's attention has turned toward alternative fuels.

In a few months, the town will break ground on a 10-million dollar processing plant.
It hopes to become the first town in the nation to run completely off renewable resources. The GLRC's LaToya Dennis reports:
