Michigan is increasingly like a third world shit-hole: Day four without electrical power from Consumers Energy, over 81k still affected
My electric power went out Tuesday night at about 11pm.
It is still out.
Over 81,000 customers, just of Consumers Energy, remain without power four days after a line of storms came through.
The utility runs ads on the radio incessantly saying "Count on us"!
It spends more time and money trying to get consumers to curtail electric usage than it does providing it.
It decommissions coal fired generating capacity and then turns around and buys electricity from Indiana. Under Democrat Gretchen Whitmer we are increasingly like California.
The utility is a cruel joke, especially this week as humidity levels soared with the heat. Indoor temperatures at night above 80 degrees F make for miserable sleeping, when sleeping occurs at all.
The air is full of the sound of generators, day and night. Lines are long at gasoline stations where people wait to fill their cans to get them through another night.
Green energy isn't green, and the power company doesn't provide it, green or otherwise.

I'm so old I remember when AIDS was going to wipe out America
"In 2017, 16,358 people with HIV died, and 5,534 of those deaths were from HIV-related causes."
COVID-19 has wiped out that many since April 18th.
A gasoline pipeline hack, inflation, and Liz Cheney are bigger news.

Maybe gasoline wouldn't cost as much if we didn't export 8% of our consumption

150 big spending House Republicans gave away the store in December 2015 in exchange for lifting the oil export ban
Since the vote on Dec. 18, 2015 what we got in return is US debt to the penny increasing by $2.33 trillion through 4/9/18, or 12%, and the price of a gallon of gasoline climbing by 65-cents, or 33%.
Way to go, Brownie!
