Three Strikes Is Too Many; SEVEN TIMES Is Too Much
Thursday, Nov 17, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Three different times, the Illinois legislature has rejected a proposal put forward by out-of-state energy company Tenaska to build the Taylorville Energy Center. This “clean coal” plant would leave Illinois families, businesses and government agencies paying up to SEVEN TIMES today’s market price for electricity. When the legislature meets November 29, Tenaska will try once again to get Illinois consumers to foot the bill for their coal plant, which Illinois doesn’t need. Please take a moment now to contact your legislator and let them know you oppose the Taylorville Energy Center. Here are the facts:
• Illinois businesses and industry would bear the risks and absorb most cost overruns, making it harder to create jobs. • Tenaska wants Illinois consumers to pay even if the Taylorville Energy Center never produces more than a single megawatt of power. • The plant would add only two-tenths of one percent to the overall amount of power generation capacity available to Illinois Your voice matters in stopping this legislation. Thanks for letting your legislator know that you oppose the Taylorville Energy Center. Visit www.STOPCoalition.com to learn more.

Grid Modernization: It’s all about the Customer
Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act will transform the way power is delivered to Illinois customers. We will judge success based on the value we deliver to our customers — greater reliability, enhanced service, and more tools for customers to manage their electricity use.
• Modernization will mean…improved overall system reliability, with fewer and shorter outages. • Modernization will mean…a peak time rebate program that allows customers to save money when they reduce electric use during critical peak periods, such as summer afternoons when electricity prices are highest. • Modernization will mean…improved customer service with call center representatives able to view actual usage data and answer questions about power status and billing in real time. • Modernization will mean…virtual elimination of estimated bills. The Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act is a 10-year, $2.6 billion investment in a smarter electric grid. More important is what it will do for customers. Greater reliability. Enhanced service. New energy management tools. That’s the value of grid modernization.
