Keeping Illinois Nuclear Plants Open: Good For Our Communities & Illinois

Ben Lowers, Police Chief in Clinton, Illinois:

As Police Chief in Clinton, I know firsthand of the significant impact the Clinton Power Station has on my community. It employs nearly 700 of our friends and neighbors and funds local government services including schools, fire and emergency response through the $12.6 million it pays in taxes every year.

Outdated energy policies are forcing nuclear energy plants nationwide to close down and Clinton could be next. These closures devastate local communities. Jobs are lost. Services are cut. Last year, a Vermont town eliminated its entire police department after its local plant closed down.

Clinton cannot afford this and neither can Illinois. That is why I support a legislative proposal called the Low Carbon Portfolio Standard. This proposal is good for our state’s economic health and would help prevent plants like Clinton Power Station from closing.

I urge our legislators in Springfield to act now and vote YES on the Low Carbon Portfolio Standard - House Bill 3293 & Senate Bill 1585.
