Act now, before it is too late!
- DuPage/Kane county air is already among 20% worst in the US. The proposed
peaker power plants will cumulatively add thousands of
tons of regulated pollutants to the air every summer, when the air quality
is the poorest.
Wake up! This is the air you'll be breathing!
- In addition, the plants will annually release tens of thousands
of tons of carbon dioxide, responsible for global warming.
Even small changes in Earth's temperature may trigger dramatic
climate changes - this is not something to toy with!
An alternative to peaker energy generation is energy conservation.
- Making the energy conservation choice now
saves the environment for our children
and for the future.
It reduces acid rain that destroys forests
and poisons soil and water
and it cuts on smog that causes health problems.
Consider all energy efficiency choices you can make, including
fuel-efficient cars.
These power plants need not to be here! Do your part!
Write to IEPA and send a copy of the letter to the Governor, your
state Rep. and Senator.
Only when our voices join together we can
be heard!
