Hey, is anyone thinking that the reason for DTE & MI is wanting to increase residetial electric bills, has something to do with the recent annoncement of GM to reopen Pole Town for their new electric car? Walmart & Kroger couldn't get the state to lower electric rates for businesses! I guess GM & DTE are going to give our politicians free electricity for life, but then again they can afford it because nobody has cut their pay, benefits, or insurance.
What I find amusing, is the BIG3 knew about electric cars when gas was under $1.00 a gallon. Now that the government is giving tax breaks to companies going green, the big guys are now jumping on the band wagon. Yes, I know the cost of fuel is absurd. All the companies that have left MI, thanks Gov Canadian, have left how many unemployed behind, that are struggling to pay their utilities as it is.
Yes the new plant will generate jobs, but how many unemployed will be hired in probably at minimum wage? We need to contact our legislators about all these proposals before the state of MI becomes one empty land fill.(At least the state can make $$ getting trash from Canada).
Will we be able to afford to charge our electric cars??? Don't forget that it was announced on Mackinaw that when DTE starts to build their windmills up in the thumb area, that the residential customer will be paying an extra $3.00 a month, to help defray the cost!!
Is DTE hiring?
