DTE Energy has joined a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy that says the federal agency has collected nearly $37 billion for the disposal of used fuel from nuclear power plants but not disposed of the waste. The lawsuit asks that the DOE stop collecting money to do a job it has neglected to do. The federal government has been collecting the disposal money since 1982, according to the lawsuit. “It is kind of like paying a mortgage on a house that hasn’t been built yet,” said Tom Kauffman, spokesman for the Nuclear Energy Institute. DTE Energy, which operates the Fermi 2 plant near Monroe, joined the lawsuit because Michigan rate payers have paid $567.6 million of the $37 billion, said company spokesman Guy Cerullo.
