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…

"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
ALT A graphic reads, "Since day one of our city's entanglement with Prairie State, we citizen-owners have been blocked from information." The quote is attributed to Greg Hubert, Naperville Resident. A photo of plumes from coal plant smoke stacks appears behind the text.

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.
"Optimistic but dissatisfied is the road to progress."

Members of @ILCleanJobs are hosting a rally & press conference in Springfield to call on @AmerenIllinois to take action to protect consumers & the power grid! #CEJAworks #twill

We owe a debt to young people, civil society & indigenous communities for sounding the climate alarm & holding leaders accountable.
We must build on their work to create a #ClimateAction movement that can't be ignored.

Secretary General @antonioguterres said it perfectly: “Coal and other fossil fuels are choking humanity.” We need to allow ourselves to breathe. #Naperville needs to end its addiction to #Coal. wbez.org/stories/billions-of…
Greg Hubert retweeted
Follow the advice of Secretary General @antonioguterres and “Demand an end to coal-fired power” by emailing the #Naperville City Council: council@naperville.il.us. It’s time we ended our complicity in destroying the planet.

The @IPCC_CH report is crystal clear: “Coal must be effectively phased out if the world is to stay within 1.5C.” It’s time #Naperville ended its addiction to #Coal if we truly care about our children and ensuring them a #LivableFuture. theguardian.com/environment/…

“Drill, baby, drill” is a road to climate breakdown, resource wars, and ruin. #Democracy and the end of #FossilFuel dictatorships requires #RenewableEnergy. theguardian.com/world/2022/f…

The Biden administration is making a historic mistake if it goes along with Big Oil/Gas instead of making Ukraine the choice moment for clean energy.

Kids, ask your parents to contact the #Naperville City Council and ask them to protect your future by ending the city’s addiction to #coal. Here’s the number: (630) 420-6018. And call yourself.

Great to see @NaperSustain advocating for #Naperville to end its addiction to #CoalPower. It's long past time Naperville's electricity provider #IMEA exited the 1880s and embraced a livable future powered by #RenewableEnergy. @SBakerSun1 @NapervilleIL chicagotribune.com/suburbs/n…

The @EPA is taking efforts to address toxic #CoalAsh. We’d do well to stop creating the problem in the first place…including at #Naperville’s Prairie State Energy Campus. thehill.com/policy/energy-en…

#Coal is a significant source of CO2 emissions, and the need to lower CO2 levels is urgent. What’s also clear is that investments in carbon capture at coal-fired power plants have failed. What clearly works is not burning the coal in the first place. canarymedia.com/articles/car…

We're tired of hearing that we have to choose between a strong economy and taking climate action.
We can and will have both.
Greg Hubert retweeted
FYI: The richest 1% emit more than 2x as much CO2 as the bottom 50% of the world. Isn't it time we stop framing the climate crisis around the individual responsibility of regular people?

“There is a stark divide between who has caused climate change and who is suffering its effects. People of colour across the Global South are those who will be most affected by the climate crisis, even though their carbon footprints are generally very low. bbc.com/future/article/20220…
