How Keeping A Coal Plant Open is Raising Your Energy Bill

The J.H. Campbell coal plant in West Olive is one of Michigan’s last coal plants and a major cause of pollution for West Michigan communities. Due to its cost and age, it was scheduled to shut down in May, but the Trump administration issued an order forcing it to stay open. Keeping the coal plant running is costing $615,000 a day and Consumers Energy is now trying to shift those costs onto Michiganders’ energy bills.

Tell the MPSC: No More Rate Hikes!

DTE and Consumers Energy have once again asked state regulators to raise our energy rates — and this time they are asking for over $1 billion. If approved, that cost would be passed off directly to customers. Our bills are already too damn high! Enough is enough.

Protecting the planet starts with protecting our democracy.

We can’t have a healthy environment without a healthy democracy, and the health of our environment impacts the health of our people. We know that in order to fight against corporate special interests and big polluters, we need a democracy where every voice is heard. That’s why at Michigan LCV — ensuring access to the ballot is just as high on our priority list as protecting our water, land, and air.

Ways to Give
We’re non-partisan.

Clean air and safe drinking water are basic needs, not partisan issues. We represent the issues, not a political party. We work to find common ground to do right by our state’s incredible natural resources and all of us who depend on them.

We're political.

Electing environmental champions and passing the right policies is the best way to protect the health of our communities, our democracy, and our natural resources. We elect and educate leaders, and we hold them accountable to protect the Great Lakes State.

We’re supported by Michiganders like you.

You donate, you volunteer, you take action and contact your elected officials — and you make protecting our land, air, water, and democracy a political priority. In every corner of the state, Michigan LCV members are standing up for a brighter future. Thank you!

I’ve been grappling with toxic PFAS contamination and its health impacts for years. Michigan LCV has been with me every step of the way with the tools to get meaningful action on cleaning up our drinking water.

What brings you to this movement?

Everyone comes to this work with different motivations. It could be to fight environmental injustice and ensure every Michigander, no matter the color of their skin, has clean air to breathe, safe water to drink and a healthy community. It could be your desire to shut down Line 5 and protect our Great Lakes from a catastrophic oil spill. Maybe it’s because you know we must protect our election systems and elect environmental champions — because without a healthy democracy, we can’t have a healthy environment. Whatever your reason, we want to know what brings you to this fight.
