Flashpoint: Devin Scillian interviews DTE Energy CEO about mass power outages, customer frustration

[@Ropecharud]

Everybody needs to check online and see how much compensation this man makes annually. You’ll be sick to your stomach.

[@rodajon]

I did this exact thing and the noise that was released from my body was legendary 👀💣💥

[@johnpenley]

DTE don't care bout your problems.. They are the only service in town and they know that.

[@nick878725]

This dude really said historic ice storm that only comes every 50 years 😂,they happen every year dude

[@kb1633]

I didn’t hear anything truth here. He’s full of it!

[@vivianjanis-wv2pz]

Same excuses and issues as last summer when I didn't have power. At least I had power this time.

[@blueboat9581]

Dte owes you nothing. You're a statistic to them. Don't rely on them and be at their mercy. Generate your own power. Get a Generac standby generator. Now when the power goes out, we high five and pour a drink

[@jpzz123]

DTE needs to take a segment of older communities and bury the lines but it's not acceptable to say it does not help,it does and cutting trees and checking them reduces falling trees

[@dylanvanwormer7701]

It’s fascinating to me that DTE views you as worth 12 million annually in base compensation. Bury the lines instead of fighting this crusade against trees - it reads like you get a personal kickback from the tree cutting contracts you are doling out left and right. Actually do something instead of complain about trees and poor weather. This is Michigan - neither of those things are going anywhere. Your ineptitude is borderline criminal at this point.

DTE should be brought before the US congress. This news station is just as bad for not investigating how much DTE has made in profit and how much is being spent on what they said it would be used on. Now DTE has the disgusting audacity to throw insulting $35 credits around and say it's for our future?! The fact that this station is doing any stories about how it's up to Detroiters to "change their expectations" and just expect this is the new norm shows not only that this news station doesn't care for Detroit now, it doesn't care for its future either. Pathetic and appalling.

[@Sam-pi6ch]

And stop saying historic storms...this is Michigan

[@bigred3164]

More like historic blunder! And can I use my "investment" money to pay for my hotel stay. I'll take it now, thank you!

[@TheAS687]

Billion dollar company that can’t seem to bury the damn lines

[@July.4.1776]

Enough with the dam tree trimming excuse. Underground burial is the way to go.

[@tarachippewa3747]

And who's fault is it that you let the grid age for so long without proper upgrades and maintenance? Surely not mine, I'm a customer (hostage) not an investor...

[@kevincraven5857]

The Michigan Public Service Commission has allowed this to go on for decades...Poor regulation.

[@July.4.1776]

This guy talked a lot, but said nothing no concrete answers a decade from now he will be retired and long gone. 🤔
