DTE Energy proposes a 7.6% rate increase but promised a two-year freeze if Oracle and Google data centers deliver revenue. Plus: Detroit Riverwalk reopens, toxic dirt scandal expands, and Michigan faces surge in Lyme disease cases.
What happens when someone's actually watching.
Planet Detroit is three reporters covering the environmental stories no one else will — no paywall, no corporate owner, no ads. This year, we exposed a decade-long fluoride cover-up in Wyandotte, were the only newsroom at the Zug Island air pollution trial, and broke the data center investigations that reached the Washington Post and the LA Times.
Reader support is how we stay here. A gift of any size — one-time or monthly — keeps someone watching.
Your gift is tax-deductible.
