I call on DTE Energy's Board of Directors and its CEO Gerard Anderson, to protect public health, our air and water, create good clean jobs and safeguard families and communities by adopting a Sustainable Clean Energy Plan for Michigan.
Over the past several years, the cost of coal has increased significantly while renewable energy is declining in cost. Our over-dependence on outdated, dirty coal as an energy source has kept Michigan from competing and moving ahead white DTE Energy's customers struggle to pay ever-increasing electric bills. Meanwhile, polluting coal plants continue endangering public health and our "Pure Michigan" way of life. In this challenging economy, DTE Energy must move boldly and deliberately toward a clean energy future while ensuring that its customers are protected from costly electric bills. Electricity is an essential need, heats many homes and must be affordable for all Michigan families.
Therefore, I believe DTE Energy must adopt a comprehensive Sustainable Clean Energy Plan with programs and policies that transition us away from dirty, expensive coal and other non-renewable sources of energy, such as nuclear. This plan should seek to protect all customers, including Michigan's most vulnerable residents. This Plan should also protect communities and provide workers with training on skills they will need to thrive in a clean energy economy.
