Michigan Residents May Lose Power Less, Thanks To New Consumers Energy Devices
One of the worst things about Michigan weather is that during really bad storms whether they be through rain and wind or snow and ice, it doesn’t take much for us to lose energy, and that’s where Consumers step in.

Many of us spend countless hours of our lives parked in front of a television, tablet, phone, or laptop/desktop screen watching one of the many sporting events that come on in a year.
