At least $1 billion was expended by Consumers Energy customers to make the Campbell one of the cleanest coal plants in the nation, yet Consumers Energy executives want to sock it to these customers and close the plant in 2025. The effect of the anti-polluting equipment has been significant, such as reflected in the table […]
Resolution Request of Township and County Boards to Prevent a Consumers Energy Rate Hike By Offsetting Campbell Costs With Net Zero Expenditure ReductionsResolution Request of Township and County Boards to Prevent a Consumers Energy Rate Hike By Offsetting Campbell Costs With Net Zero Expenditure Reductions
Subject: Resolution Request of Township Boards and County Board of Ottawa County Dear Board Members: Consumers Energy is indicating it will raise customer rates to keep the Campbell open in accordance with the Trump Administration executive order, when it should instead be offsetting those costs with reductions in its Net Zero agenda expenditures so that […]
By the authority vested in it by the Michigan Constitution, the Ottawa County Board should pass a resolution calling on Consumers Energy not to seek cost recovery from customers of costs to keep Campbell open, but instead to reduce its significant expenditures on executing its “aggressive green energy plans”. If it refuses, like it likely will, then the Ottawa County Board should help townships pursue local control of the Campbell and electric in Ottawa County.By the authority vested in it by the Michigan Constitution, the Ottawa County Board should pass a resolution calling on Consumers Energy not to seek cost recovery from customers of costs to keep Campbell open, but instead to reduce its significant expenditures on executing its “aggressive green energy plans”. If it refuses, like it likely will, then the Ottawa County Board should help townships pursue local control of the Campbell and electric in Ottawa County.
It should be noted that some parts of Ottawa County already successfully have local control of electric. This may be an especially opportune time, because there may be an interested data center willing to help in the financing of Campbell acquisition.

Meanwhile, it plans to sock customers with many costs to keep Campbell open but largely unused, even though the Campbell does provide reliable baseload, and does not have all of the […]
Consumers Energy Should Get No Cost Recovery Money The MPSC Plans to Give it Because the Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo has Irresponsibly Ignored the Warnings and Refuses to Cut Net Zero Agenda Spending Which Could More than Offset Keeping the Campbell Plant OpenConsumers Energy Should Get No Cost Recovery Money The MPSC Plans to Give it Because the Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo has Irresponsibly Ignored the Warnings and Refuses to Cut Net Zero Agenda Spending Which Could More than Offset Keeping the Campbell Plant Open
MISO and NERC have been warning for many months about the dangers of the Net Zero plan which Consumers Energy/MPSC duo has us on. There are significant technical problems with the Net Zero plan. The skyrocketing electric costs in the UK of Net Zero are a warning. The recent blackout in Spain and Portugal are […]
The Net Zero Path Has Major Technical Problems Which Net Zero Zealots Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo Chooses to IgnoreThe Net Zero Path Has Major Technical Problems Which Net Zero Zealots Consumers Energy/MPSC Duo Chooses to Ignore

One technical problem is described at https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1PfKaGh1tQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr. A related technical problem is described at […]

Louisiana is part […]

Louisiana is part of our regional grid, and it is starting to experience rolling outages (load shedding): https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews/2025/05/27/trump-keeps-michigan-coal-plant-alive-00369769 The folly of the Net Zero agenda is already starting to be felt, as NERC and MISO had warned about. Frankly, even I am surprised of this development so soon. Load shedding is common in South Africa […]
