DTE Energy is converting a portion of its retired Trenton Channel coal power plant site to house a 220 MW battery energy storage center, due for completion in 2026.

The new Trenton Channel Energy Center is expected to support the company’s CleanVision Integrated Resource Plan and Michigan’s energy storage target.

“Today, roughly one-third of all electricity generated by DTE comes from carbon-free resources,” says Jerry Norcia, chairman and chief executive officer of DTE Energy.

“Our world-class solar, wind and nuclear generation facilities are delivering reliable and clean electricity to our customers, and the Trenton Channel Energy Center is a significant milestone in accelerating our clean energy journey.”

The cost of the Trenton Channel site’s transformation is being offset by $140 million in tax incentives through the IRA.

The Downside of Social Media

At left is a recent post by a “friend” on FB.  A couple of points that illustrate how inane and dangerous social media can be:

  • This is a hoax that was debunked that year.
  • Protesting the U.S. support for what’s happening in Gaza is far different than “organizing pro-Hamas rallies.”
  • Objecting to the free expression of ideas is unAmerican.

Of course, stupidity exists even in the absence of social media, but there is no doubt that it accelerates that rate at which crap like this can be promulgated throughout our society.

This Is a Big Ask

To accept what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, you’ll have to pretend that you received your DOGE and Tariff checks, that grocery and gasoline prices aren’t through the roof, that the national debt didn’t just break the $40 trillion barrier, and that the United States has won the illegal and pointless war in Iran.

OK, we’re stupid, but there must be a limit.

Please tell me there is a limit.

Trump’s Attempt at Bribery

There are so many obnoxious features of Trump’s offer to bribe voters that it’s impossible to count them all.

Something that jumps out at me is that I live among people whose integrity is for sale for $5000.
