Say No to Coal in Naperville

 

As Naperville weighs the future of its electric supply, a group of environmental and civic organizations are teaming up to tell city leaders to “Say No to Coal” — and they’re urging community members to back the sentiment.

The Say No to Coal consortium wants to pack seats at the Naperville City Council meeting Tuesday night, January 21st, to raise awareness that a big decision looms over the city: whether now’s the time for a contract extension with its current electricity provider, the coal-heavy Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA).

Consortium members and supporters will be speaking at the meeting to voice their concerns with the potential extension, organizers say. As part of the effort, organizers have invited the broader Naperville community — residents, organizations and businesses included — to attend in solidarity.
