Citizens for Clean Energy, Inc. (CCE) is an all volunteer group of Montana citizens from many backgrounds and political persuasions. Our objective is to convince decision makers that adequate, clean, efficient, and cost effective energy for our community and state can be obtained without destroying our health, lifestyle, environment and heritage. We are united by a very deep concern about the harm coal-fired plants and excess CO2 production causes to the local environments and our world.
Coal-fired plants are the last of a dying breed of fossil fuel fired generators and their days are numbered. The coal industry is attempting to build as many of these coal plants, around the US, as possible in the small window remaining before air quality rules and enforcement actions are enacted by the new administration, EPA, and Congress. Coal-fired plants pollute our air, water, and land with toxic mercury, dangerous heavy metals, radionuclides, many other deadly compounds, and plenty of CO2. Very fine particulates will be discharged into the air, continuously, and distributed to the populace invading deep into our lungs. Exposure to small particle pollution has been linked to significant health problems, ranging from aggravated asthma to premature death in people with already impaired respiratory function, heart and lung disease.
Tell the decision makers to upgrade our local hydroelectric facilities built in the early part of the last century. PP&L must update all their hydro plants on the Missouri in a timely manner. Encourage PPL and Northwestern to do studies on utilizing our local Missouri River resources to create "Water Battery Systems" in conjunction with the ample wind power available here. The City must open dialogs with Northwestern Electric, Pennsylvania Power & Electric, Montgomery Energy, The Governor's office, Cascade County Commissioners, and local landowners. With all the resources available here, there are many good solutions for clean power to serve our area. Write the Governor to investigate Stored Wind Energy, Pumped Hydro Storage, New Solar Power, Biofuels, and Geothermal Power as base Generation in Montana. Our state has many areas where these resources can be utilized to great benefit in producing electricity and other uses. Lets put "Clean Power" ahead of "Coal Power" to save our environment and perhaps the very lives of our future generations.
