Tell the San Antonio City Council and CPS Energy Leadership: Don’t Burn Coal for 23 More Years

We all know the earth is in crisis from industrially driven climate disruption. But San Antonio’s electric utility, CPS Energy, wants to keep burning coal until at least 2042.

Not only is coal a public health disaster and global climate offender, it’s more expensive than clean, renewable wind and solar energy.

Last year, San Antonio residents demanded that the city honor the principles of the Paris climate agreement and forge a pathway to a 100 percent renewable energy future.

That wasn't the path described by CPS Energy CEO Paula Gold Williams, as she delivered an update to the utility's energy plan this week.

There is no addition of large-scale renewable energy planned until at least 2026. And in 2042, by her calculations, nearly half of our city's power generation will be based upon coal, natural gas, and nuclear.

This is not OK.
