The closed DTE Energy River Rouge Power Station. It is one of 13 coal ash dump sites environmental groups ranked in Michigan.

In Southeast Michigan, power is supplied to by DTE, formerly Detroit Edison. And the for-profit company wants to increase rates yet again.

An independent audit of DTE released yesterday revealed there is lots room for improvement.

If you’ve ever wondered where all your utility bill goes, the Detroit Free Press spent two weeks deciphering the DTE numbers.
