Broad and Diverse Coalition Opposes the Taylorville Energy Center/SB 1653
Monday, Oct 24, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinois legislators have already voted against Tenaska Energy’s proposed Taylorville Energy Center (TEC) power plant two times. But during the upcoming legislative session, Tenaska plans to pressure lawmakers to approve SB 1653 and make us pay up to seven times today’s market price for electricity. Tenaska can’t build and finance the plant without subsidies from Illinois electric consumers because it’s not needed and it’s uneconomic. That’s why there is broad and diverse opposition to the TEC and SB 1653, including the following groups that have publicly stated their opposition:
• Illinois Retail Merchants Association • Illinois Competitive Energy Association • Illinois Chamber of Commerce • Illinois Sierra Club • Environment Illinois • Over 200 other Illinois businesses and non-profits that operate in Illinois To join these organizations in saying NO to paying seven times the market price for electricity, take a moment to let your legislator know that you oppose the Taylorville Energy Center and SB 1653.
