You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

This week, four of ten electric cooperatives announced they are pulling out of investing in a proposed coal-fired power plant in middle Georgia. However, your electric cooperative may still be supporting dirty coal and that's why we need your help.

Dirty energy, like coal and other fossil fuels, threatens the economic and physical health of all Georgians. Coal plants pollute the air we breathe, poison the fish we eat and contribute to climate change. They also consume millions of gallons of water every day.

GreyStone Power Corporation President and CEO Gary Miller said, "Owning a coal plant is more risk than we want to take right now."

Georgia electric utilities should invest in clean, reliable energy sources available today, such as biomass from farms and forest, wind power, solar power and energy efficiency.

Help steer your electric co-op in the right direction by urging its leaders to join GreyStone Power, Jackson, Diverse and Excelsior EMCs and withdraw from Power4Georgians' risky proposal to build a coal plant.
