Thank you Michael Hawthorne @scribeguy and @chicagotribune for today’s article on Naperville and other communities considering doubling down on coal “Naperville, St. Charles, Winnetka and dozens of other communities urged to double down on coal”

Hamas are jihadist killers. Yet we need to remember that in Gaza and Israel, we should do all we can to side with the child over the gun theguardian.com/commentisfre…

The Clean Energy Alliance for Naperville (CLEAN), a grassroots organization, recently published a “Lack of Transparency” report on Naperville’s publicly-owned municipal electric utility, a co-owner of the Prairie State Coal Plant.

Thank you @PrairieRivers for raising awareness of the impacts of lack of transparency on our Naperville clean energy efforts and the efforts of others in municipal and cooperative electric utilities in Illinois prairierivers.org/front-page…
What role did "lack of transparency" play when Naperville signed its Power Supply Contract with IMEA in 2007? cleanenergynaperville.org/di…

The very opposite of the spirit and intent of “public power”. We have been blocked from information on the power plant that we own.
"Since day one of our city’s entanglement with Prairie State, we citizen owners have been blocked from information on Prairie State," says Greg Hubert. “[We have] tried to obtain plans, projections, & financial statements, but we’ve been blocked." #PrairieStateSued

#Naperville city leaders are you listening?
This week's climate report from the IPCC is an urgent reminder of the limited window we have to deal with the climate crisis. In order to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, it will require everyone to do their part. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

I wrote a new article for @voxdotcom on why we need the 'right kind of climate optimism'.
The people in the yellow box are the most effective in building a better world.

We’ve all been bamboozled by the lack of transparency by Prairie State, especially the muni electric and cooperative electric citizens and ratepayers who pay the bills for this deadly boondoggle.
BREAKING: Sierra Club Illinois is suing the Prairie State coal plant, IL’s deadliest plant, for operating without a permit while violating federal emissions standards.
Read our full statement: sierraclub.org/illinois/blog…
ALT A graphic reads, "Prairie State Coal Plant Sued for Operating Without a Permit. For over a decade, this deadly coal plant has operated without a Title V permit." The text appears over a photo of smoke plumes from a coal plant.
And were the citizen owners who must pay the bills ever told what was happening at Prairie State? Nope, the 9 top level owner agencies signed a confidentiality agreement to hide it all from us.

Yes we are @gop @GOPLeader . Time to develop some intestinal fortitude and defend our Constitution.
Coal industry’s Senator Manchin AND the other half of our U.S. Senate led by Senator Mitch McConnell.

“The reality is that we will not have anything left that we value, if we do not address the climate crisis.” Words that should remind #Napervile of its leadership responsibility to accelerate transition off its ownership of coal-fired generation . theguardian.com/environment/…
