Martin HallGUEST
67:25
Well, as you may be aware, there's...
Martin HallGUEST
67:30
Consumers Energy is attempting to sell all of their dams.
Martin HallGUEST
67:35
You're aware of this? I heard something about that, yeah.
Martin HallGUEST
67:38
13 dams they want out of the hydro business.
Sean ReedGUEST
8:15
Now, let me be upfront.
Sean ReedGUEST
8:17
That year, Consumers Energy provided us adequate power for 98.7% of the year.
Sean ReedGUEST
8:29
But we don't really think about that.
Sean ReedGUEST
8:31
We think about the 1.3% of the year, those five days when we didn't have power.
Sean ReedGUEST
8:55
But all that heat goes up the chimney.
Sean ReedGUEST
8:57
It doesn't give any heat to the house, which is nice if you want a fire on a warm summer day, but not on a cold winter day.
Sean ReedGUEST
9:07
Initially, we weren't concerned because Consumers Energy told us it was going to be back on that very same day.
Sean ReedGUEST
9:14
And they even gave us a time estimate.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
7:00
He owned a residential property, didn't have a great experience, but liked the technology and was a believer.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
7:06
Um, wanted it to pencil, but really the feeling of control, like, like, you know, there've been rate increases in consumers energy territory, I think annually for the past seven years, you know, which is unprecedented and that's happening in a lot of the country.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
7:20
So like many people, it wasn't just the cost, it was the fact that it felt like there was nothing you could do, right? You're dealing with a regulated monopoly, and if they're getting approvals to increase rates, you have very few options as a business owner to address energy costs.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
7:34
So this was a way to take back control.

25 MINS LATER

Jordan RhyneGUEST
32:29
It does.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
32:29
Yeah.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
32:29
So it's designed actually offset 110%, which is the max that Consumers Energy allowed.
Jordan RhyneGUEST
32:34
So this didn't have as much to do with the modules.

So it's the regulated public utilities.
Eric LupherGUEST

Eric LupherGUEST

And then it says any government contractor with more than $250,000 in business with a government so that state local government and when you think about everything governments do you know building roads running prisons having having a business that they call government right there's a lot of computers and printers and everything else that goes into that there's a lot of contractors there's a lot of vendors that sell things to the government provide services to the government build buildings for the government And the proposal says, if you do that work, if you are the utility, or if you're one of those contractors, then you cannot give to the candidates for that government.
Eric LupherGUEST
7:34
So I live in Livonia, and if I were a contractor, I might be doing business with Ann Arbor or West Bloomfield.

If I vote yes on this proposal, what changes in Michigan politics?
Jordyn HermaniGUEST
42:36
So as it stands right now, proposal two would prohibit direct or indirect contributions to Michigan politicians by groups like DTE, Consumers Energy, and companies with more than $250,000 in state government contracts.
Jordyn HermaniGUEST
42:49
It would also limit the immediate family members, board members, high ranking officials of these groups from donating as well.
Jordyn HermaniGUEST
42:57
Now, already corporations are barred in Michigan from giving to candidates.
