"In 2022, Michigan’s largest utility, DTE, donated to 138 of Michigan’s 148 legislators...

...these donations give politicians an incentive to kill legislation utilities don’t like, including some that would help renewables take off in Michigan."

www.wmuk.org/wmuk-news/20...
Advocates hope banning many utility donations will help clean energy legislation in Michigan
Renewable-energy advocates say utilities have too much influence over the officials that regulate them, and that a proposed ballot measure could help change that.

"if alternatives to Line 5 exist that would prevent harm to surrounding waters, sacred Tribal sites and the #GreatLakes economy, why would Michigan accept this proposal?"

TY for speaking out, @patagonia.com!
