There are 50 coal ash disposal sites in North Carolina and 14 coal plant facilities, one owned by UNC-Chapel Hill. Each year, the Tar Heel State produces 5.5 million tons of coal ash, making it 9th nationwide for coal ash generation. The Daily Tar Heel dailytarheel.com/article/2020/1…

.@GovParsonMO & Governor Laura Kelly should act soon if Evergy and other monopoly electric utilities do not reinstate a moratorium on utility disconnections. The pandemic is raging while hope for the end is in sight. Please help struggling Missourians & Kansans!

Ameren Missouri is gaslighting us. Ameren’s slick public relations team hides the monopoly electric utility’s political, regulatory, and legal activities that harm its customers and our shared environment. #dirtytruth 1/5

The beginning of regional environmental justice collaboration on both sides of the Mississippi River! Thanks to our friends at Sierra Club Piasa for their support and emceeing the event.

Sierra Club, other environmental orgs & individuals throughout Missouri have asked Missouri DNR for adequate testing of suspected areas of pollution, and DNR refuses. Time will tell if people leading the agency have learned a lesson.

Dear AECI CEO David Tudor, Maintaining coal and adding new gas is dirty, dangerous, and expensive. Ignoring the Inflation Reduction Act is what’s dumb. Rural MO deserves to be a leader in clean energy transition. Story by jeffreytomich bit.ly/3MQgLL4
