"It's unacceptable that everyday community members have been forced to file this suit in order for the EPA to be accountable and update their standards as required by law. Our rights have been violated and the EPA must do its job,” said Celeste Flores of @CleanPowerLC.

BREAKING NEWS: @Earthjustice, on behalf of @CleanPowerLC and other enviro/health groups, just sent a 60-day Notice of Intent to sue @EPA over the agency’s inaction to regulate harmful carcinogenic air emissions from ethylene oxide (EtO) facilities as the law required.

“The EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment. They are failing my community and communities across the country with their inaction to regulate harmful air emissions from ethylene oxide facilities," said Celeste Flores of @CleanPowerLC.

If coal companies & right-wing extremists get their way in #WVvEPA, SCOTUS’s far right majority will block @EPA's ability to impose strong standards on power plant air pollution & fight climate change. #ClimateCantWait! Learn more here: https://t.co/2PuTkDog0e

"Coal is on the way out. We know this. Coal executives know this. Politicians know this. Without enacting the EJ Act, our state won’t be ready for when these facilities close, & we will miss opportunities for transformative change," says @LeahHartung5 of @CleanPowerLC.

🚨 SIGNAL BOOST: Today the @ILSenDems Energy Committee Chair denied @ILCleanJobs the opportunity to testify against SB1104, which undermines the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act and spreads misinformation about renewable energy. #twill

When CEJA became law, IL proved that we can respond to the climate crisis while creating good paying jobs in the communities that need them most. Don’t let fossil fuel interests water it down! Tell your legislators to protect ALL of CEJA! https://t.co/plGV66BiwZ #CEJAworks

The first year I lobbied, the environmental justice act had opposition before it had any text at all. Thanks to the amazing advocacy of impacted communities, the bill has advanced to the House. On to the Senate with @SenatorCelina!!!

[Clean Power Lake County @CleanPowerLC]

It’s time to hold @nrgenergy accountable!

[Illinois Sierra Club @SierraClubIL]

"As soon as IL’ new coal ash rules were finalized & became effective, NRG began actively undermining them by filing multiple petitions before the IL Pollution Control Board in an effort to obtain exemptions & more lenient standards for its coal ash," says @cnannicelli.

[Clean Power Lake County @CleanPowerLC]

HB4358 will require NRG to remove all coal ash from the Waukegan Generating Station. Slip in support ASAP

It’s time for @POTUS to choose the people over fossil fuels!

Ahead of the State of the Union, we want to hear how this administration is going to fulfill its promises on climate and environmental justice. #BuildBackFossilFree

"We need to ensure that the drinking water of over 6 million Illinois residents is protected from the toxins contained in the #coalash ponds that are a stone's throw away from Lake Michigan."
