One day, they will expect these products to be completely carbonneutral.
DTE Gas Company , a subsidiary of Michigan’s largest utility, is expanding its naturalgas network to the area, giving over 1,000 homes and businesses the choice to switch to naturalgas. Naturalgas is more climate-friendly than the propane and wood used in much of the region, according to DTE.
