The Sustainable Energy Utility is trying to establish itself after being approved by voters, but both DTE and A2P2 are arguing that it is not a utility. Why would these two seemingly opposed entities be aligned? Probably because they are both trying to end-run a good concept before it gets off the ground in order to serve their respective interests, which center around control of a poorly performing and badly regulated asset: the distribution grid.

A2SEU is trying to develop the grid of the future, which is a coordinated, networked, distributed resource that reduces individual and collective reliance on an obsolete grid design that physically embodies the 20th century model for fossil-fueled, centralized generation.

Here is A2SEU's response to DTE's most recent assertions that actively try to limit A2SEU's purview: https://mi-psc.my.site.com/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/068cs00002ATemWAAT

A2P2 tries to argue that they support the SEU, but their end-run of the city's existing initiative proposes to burn resources we could be using to build out and expand the SEU on litigation and bureaucracy. Instead of pushing a ballot proposal that *does* usurp elected City Council authority and burns city funds on a second study of a distribution grid purchase that still fails to define where generation would come from, how interconnection would work, and at what cost, they could be working collaboratively toward the new state regulatory construct needed to remove statutory limits on the SEU's utility design.

I’m a new local. Moved here from the woods up north. Being from up north, us hillbillies have all the fixins to set up a proper tailgate. RV camper, generator, traeger, outdoor kitchen the works etc..

Teach me the proper ways. Who what where when why. What lot, what pass, worth it for expensive tickets or nah. What’s the lowdown.

I have a three year old boy and want to establish a lifelong tradition of tailgating and going to the game. I want to do it right. What’s the absolute best of the best.

Come on seasoned veterans what’s the pro tips?!?

Hi Ann Arbor! Best place to get an inexpensive mattress without pushy sales people?

I’ve got a nail on my tire, beyond repairable. I have bought one from the used market with similar tread depths. I called some of the shops, they said they won’t replace used tire because of the store policy. Does anyone know where they change the used tires? Thanks.

I don’t see MetroNet city permits after they have been acquired. I live in a fiber desert surrounded by fiber-connected neighborhoods.

Is it typical to schedule out 6+ months to see your Michigan Medicine PCP?

Just realized I have a scheduling conflict on the day of my yearly physical exam so I went to reschedule and the first available is May 2027. At this point, I’m considering staying back from my work conference because I have a few minor things I may need referrals for and waiting another half year seems ridiculous.

My PCP works out of the Canton office. I called to change providers a few years ago but was laughed at and told no one was accepting new patients.

I’ve been a lifelong MM patient and don’t want to move systems so I’m curious to know if this scheduling issue is specific to my PCP, Michigan Medicine, or if this is the status quo of getting healthcare these days.

Hi all, my MS daughter who loves to run discovered last year that she also loves high jumping - but it’s tricky to work on or find anyone to help her with it. Does anyone have any recommendations in the area for how she could practice high jumping or get some help with it in the winter?
