Illinois consumers face a projected cost increase of $400 million every year for the next 30 years from the proposed Taylorville Energy Center coal plant, so it’s no wonder over 300 organizations that operate and do business in Illinois have signed up on the STOP Coalition’s website to publicly oppose this project.

And just last week, 25 health, farm and environmental organizations signed a letter to Illinois lawmakers calling this project “unnecessary, unreasonably expensive, and risky for Illinois”.

The Taylorville Energy Center would have a devastating impact on Illinois families and businesses, who would pay up to nine times today’s market price for electricity to subsidize this project. That’s a lot of hard-earned money up in smoke.

And that’s why such a broad and diverse group of voices across Illinois – consumer advocates, environmental organizations, local government agencies, faith communities, and businesses large and small – are lining up to oppose this project.

You can take action today by urging your State Representative to “Vote NO” on any legislation that supports the Taylorville Energy Center.

You can also voice your opposition to the Taylorville Energy Center by signing on at STOP Coalition’s website or by “Liking” the STOP Coalition Facebook page.
