Electric Bills Up Again!

Feb 3, 2025

Big surprise! The Michigan Public Service Commission agreed that DTE could increase its electricity rates—AGAIN. In other words, more money out of our stretched pockets!

But when you read the details about what the $217 million is going to be used for—surprise again! $17.6 million of these funds are to be used to “support electric vehicle charging infrastructure.”

Wait a minute. There’s no way we should be paying for these charging stations. It’s companies, like Ford, that are pushing these electric vehicles and making profits off of them. Let them pay!
