A $7 billion data center project in Michigan, supported by Oracle and OpenAI, is facing political opposition due to concerns over energy costs, water usage, and local impacts, despite promises of job creation. The Michigan Public Service Commission granted conditional approval, but Attorney General Dana Nessel is seeking a rehearing to address potential consumer impacts, as projections indicate energy bills could rise by 25% to 70% over the next decade. DTE Energy, the project's developer, has 30 days to comply with the commission's conditions.
