What you need to know about coal and the Powerton Generating Station
The Powerton generating station is a coal-fired power plant located in Illinois that is owned by dirty energy utility Edison International. This plant is responsible for 51 deaths, 79 heart attacks, and 860 asthma attacks as a result of the pollution it spews out.
Edison International took a big step forward in scheduling to shut down the dirty Fisk and Crawford coal plants in Chicago. Now they need to go all the way and shut down the rest of their fleet including Powerton. Closing this plant will prove that people are more important than polluters.
Tell Edison International to Quit Coal
Tell Edison CEO Ted Craver to become a clean energy leader by retiring Edison’s remaining coal plants and investing in renewable energy projects in the Midwest.
