Consumers Energy introduces new rates in preparation for Chevy Volt, other electric vehicles

"'We want to encourage people to charge off-peak during the evening and night time,' Gerber said."

It's sorta hard to believe this guy is serious about "encouraging" folks to use electricity at night when the only customers who get this option are self-admitted tree huggers.

Why not offer this to all customers?

Run the pool pump, air conditioner, washer/dryer, dishwasher, lawn sprinkler, etc. at night and get a discount (while you reduce peak usage!).

Apparently not!

Another purely political move in our "Pure Michigan" state of disaster.
