Three different times, the Illinois legislature has rejected Tenaska’s proposed Taylorville Energy Center, which would have us pay up to SEVEN TIMES today’s market price for electricity for a power plant we don’t need. After three strikes, legislators should say, “You’re Outta Here!” to the Taylorville Energy Center.
Here’s why:
• Illinois job creators would bear the risk and absorb most of the costs from the Taylorville Energy Center. This project would be costly even if built on schedule and on budget, but consider that a similar coal-gasification project in Indiana has racked up a full $1 billion in cost overruns! Predictably, the plant’s owners are passing most of the costs on to Indiana consumers.
• Tenaska wants Illinois consumers to pay even if the Taylorville Energy Center never produces more than a single megawatt of power.
• Power from the Taylorville Energy Center would be one costly drop in a big bucket. The plant’s 544 megawatts would add only two-tenths of one percent to the overall amount of power generation capacity available to Illinois, at a price tag of at least $8.6 billion.
Please take a moment to let your legislator know that you oppose the Taylorville Energy Center. Visit www.STOPCoalition.com to learn more.
