What? Do you have specific information on this? Or just a general idea that comes from the recent budget?
Because Michigan's infrastructure, like power grid, is not keeping up with growth, and many parts of the grid are old, not to mention old bridges and lead water pipes (see Flint, MI). In the 1990s Consumer's Power was giving a discount to you if they could shut off your AC during peak summer periods, because they don't have enough electricity during these times. Now this program has spread to West Michigan.

All I know is it's a $1 trillion renewal plan aimed at repairing roads, airports, bridges, dams. That kinda thing. I googled it and there seems to be info available, but I haven't had a chance to do much reading about it and I only know what President Trump said during his campaigning. I'm at work at the 'mo and busy, so you'll need to google it yourself if you want info.
