Members of Presque Isle Electric and Gas Co-op overwhelmingly trust WolverineBy jenkuz, Section News
This is part of an ongoing story of a coal plant that is being proposed in Rogers City, Michigan.
I took time off of work to attend the PIE&G annual meeting yesterday. Karas was not let into the meeting because he is not a member of PIE&G Cooperative. Some interesting things took place though in the two hour's time I allowed myself to be away from work. First, I learned some things I did not know. Wolverine has spent 20 million dollars to date checking into the feasability of this project, and in the same amount of time, they have spent 700 million dollars buying power from downstate utilities as well as Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. Second, the reason we have a cooperative is because it is costly to provide energy to rural areas, in fact, because Detroit Edison and Consumers Energy and other big companies thought it too costly, local leaders had to find a solution on their own, and with strength in numbers, we are a co-op that is part of a larger family that serves 230,000 households and businesses.
