I think we can all agree; Michigan should have breathable air and affordable energy. Unfortunately right now, we don’t.
Michigan’s DTE Energy is one of the most coal-dependent utilities in the country. Their coal-fired power plants emit soot that lead to higher rates of cancer and asthma. On top of that, DTE wants to build a $15 billion nuclear plant that we don’t need and can’t afford.
It’s time for DTE to invest more in renewable energy, which is cheaper than old and new coal plans and nuclear. It’s time for DTE to stop hurting Michigan Families. It’s time for DTE to clean up its act by investing in cleaner renewable energy like wind and solar.
Want to learn more about the problems with DTE Energy’s current energy portfolio? Want to learn about the cleaner, cheaper energy sources right in our state? Want to learn what you can do about it? Come to our Clean Energy Forum! RSVP right away and bring a friend to:
