We Can't Wait Any Longer on Coal Ash
We can't wait to act on coal ash! Americans deserve clean energy. We shouldn't be poisoned by dirty coal plants and coal ash, and then be asked to foot the bill. Tell the President and the EPA.
Coal ash is a concentrated toxic by-product of burning coal and is a growing problem across the nation. The EPA and the National Academy of Sciences research show that coal ash is toxic, and threatens human health.
Yet Big Coal has been fighting any change to the status quo, lobbying against these proposed regulations and asking the nation’s energy regulators to charge ratepayers for any coal ash cleanup charges.
Stopping Big Stone II
Coal pollution is a threat to our health and environment. Investing in a costly new coal burning power plant wastes money and takes South Dakota away from safe, clean renewable energy from wind.
Promoting Wind Power
South Dakota already produces more generation than it needs. Building and exporting new wind power, rather than coal, means protection and preservation of South Dakota water resources and not having to pay to transport and burn millions of tons of more coal.
