About
This week we connect with our friends from Consumers Energy to talk about the upcoming holiday season. We've got info on ways to keep your house warm and cozy this year, things to do in downtown Jackson, information on using electric vehicles when traveling, plus TURKEY TALK.First up, Brian Wheeler from Consumers joins us to share a few tips and tricks on how to save energy during the holidays, including some great black Friday deals you can take advantage of. He might also share a few favorite holiday memories with us. Find out more about Consumers Energy's special savings and more here.It's no secret that we love Jackson, Michigan. We've always felt that you should love Jackson too, so we brought our friend Rachel Buchanan on to share all the cool things you can enjoy in Jackson this holiday season. She also gives us an update on the restaurant scene in Jackson, which is home to Consumers Energy headquarters. Did you know that Jackson is really a foodie town? It is, trust us!We've been interested in electric vehicles for years now, but have always wondered exactly how they would work with all the miles that we travel. We reached out to Western Michigan University physics professor Paul Pancella to educate us a little bit about this auto option. First, let's just say GO BRONCOS because this guy built his own electric car off of a Honda Civic over ten years ago, and he's been a convert ever since. His passion is inspiring, and information fascinating. Finally, the holiday season is one of the busiest for those of us cooking in the kitchen, and we can always use a few tips and tricks. John summons Chef Amy to the mic for a little bit of TURKEY TALK, and how you can cut your energy usage this holiday season while still creating mouth-watering delicious holiday meals.
