Free The Planet(!) at OSU

Our group is organizing to prevent a proposed, additional AMP-Ohio coal-fired power plant from being constructed. Why? Many reasons, but here are a few: This would be the FIFTH plant within an 11.5 mile radius; the cost estimate has skyrocketed from $1.2 billion in 2005 to $3.4 billion-plus in 2008 (this is not a final estimate, and does not include the cost of financing); it would lock member communities into a 50-year contract to buy coal-fired power, at a time when alternatives are becoming more and more attainable--and alternatives would create significantly better jobs in greater quantity; the negative health effects of Orwellian "clean coal" on local people and our Planet are staggering; and all taxpayers in Ohio could be paying for this plan, because they've admitted they need state & local subsidies to build it. Talk about a dirty deal! (Especially during this time of recession.)

Our newly-approved campaign focuses on how Ohio State's community can directly advocate for specific, responsible choices from governmental decision makers--and illuminate Big Coal's wanton cycle of oppression for Ohio, disenfranchised communities, future generations, and our warming Planet.
