⁣⁣🚨Free Michigan’s Rivers: Stop the Dam Sell‑Off⠀
⠀
For more than a century, the 13 Consumers Energy (CE) dams scattered across Michigan’s rivers have impaired the waters Michigan Trout Unlimited was founded to protect. These structures are aging, damaging, and long overdue for retirement. ⠀
⠀
Now, CE is proposing to sell all 13 dams—not to Michigan communities, not to conservation-minded stewards—but to a private equity company with no ties to our state. Each dam would be placed under its own limited liability company, shielding ownership from responsibility and leaving Michigan’s rivers, fisheries, and taxpayers more vulnerable than ever.⠀
⠀
Meanwhile, the Manistee, Au Sable, and Muskegon—globally unique cold groundwater rivers—continue to suffer from warming, habitat disruption, dissolved oxygen reductions, degraded flows, and blocked fish passage. The proposed sale would lock that damage in for yet another generation.⠀
⠀
That is why Michigan TU has formally intervened in the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) proceedings reviewing this dam sale and related power purchase agreement. They are represented by the Environmental Law & Policy Center and joined by strong partners: the Anglers of the Au Sable, Great Lakes Council of Fly Fishers International, Michigan Salmon & Steelhead Association, and the Michigan Hydro Relicensing Coalition. ⠀
⠀
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore these rivers, prevent future catastrophes, and ensure that public interests—not private equity profits—determine the fate of Michigan’s waters. Many of you have stood in these rivers, fished below these dams, felt the effects of warm water releases or erratic flows, and asked what can be done. Today, there's an answer—and we are asking for your help.⠀
⠀
You can help by submitting a public comment to the MPSC by Dec. 30th. Share your personal perspective—whether environmental, economic, or safety-related—on the proposed sale. Use the link below to take action and be a champion for these rivers.
