Tom Leonard Proposes Utility Commission Reforms in Michigan
HYDROGEN
Tom Leonard, a Republican gubernatorial candidate in Michigan, has proposed reforms to the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) that include capping utility rate increases at inflation and expanding its membership to five. This initiative aims to improve consumer advocacy and transparency, particularly in light of recent scrutiny regarding DTE Energy's contract approvals.
Meanwhile, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed an executive directive to investigate geologic hydrogen as a potential energy source, supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.
