Google Data Center Faces Michigan Scrutiny

Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel is pushing back hard on Google’s proposed 280-acre data center in Van Buren Township, demanding the company pay at least 90% of its projected energy use — up from the 80% initially offered — to shield residents from higher bills. She’s calling for stricter oversight to prevent infrastructure costs from being passed to consumers, arguing Michiganders already shoulder steep energy prices and shouldn’t subsidize tech giants. Google says it’s working to minimize local impacts, but the final decision rests with the Public Service Commission as this high-stakes energy deal unfolds.
