The money will pay for last-mile energy delivery to low-income residents and efforts to lessen the risk of severe weather damaging the power grid.

That won't be nearly enough. There isn't nothing more Pure Michigan (tm) than potholes and power outages.

I've lived in a few different places in Michigan and power outages aren't really that common and even when the weather is bad, it's normally not down that long.

The worst I ever had was three days after a record ice storm that shut the area down for a few days. Other than that, never lost power for more than a few hours at most.

Yeah, I don't think I've had a power outage that lasted more than a minute or two in years, and I've lived all over the state

I was out for 5 days last August. 😐
