Tell CPS Energy Not to Swap One Polluting Fossil Fuel for Another

The CPS Energy Board of Trustees is finally starting to hearing your voice! They passed a resolution calling for the utility to stop burning coal by 2030 – but left the door wide open to convert the Spruce plant to natural gas.

Given the state of the climate crisis, we can’t afford to swap one polluting fossil fuel for another. Methane – the main component of natural gas – is a key driver of climate change.

The CPS board seems more willing to hear from the community now than ever before. Please send your email to ask for clean, resilient energy future for San Antonio.

I applaud the recent CPS Board of Trustees decision to support a resolution to stop burning coal by 2030. This is a critical step in the fight to maintain a livable climate.

I hope that you will do your part to ensure that this goal is met and to encourage staff to meet it early.

Converting the Spruce plant to burn natural gas will not help with climate change and would shift the burden of air and water pollution to communities affected by oil and gas production. The Spruce plant should be shut down and replaced with clean energy sources like wind, solar, batteries, energy efficiency and demand response. These resources are the path to a resilient energy future. Please do your part to keep CPS Energy on that path by giving staff clear directions to follow.

The San Antonio community is relying on your leadership. Please direct staff to do the following to ensure that decisions about our energy future reflect our values and priorities. 
1.	Involve the public in the planning process to shut the coal plant.
2.	Explore a variety of clean energy sources for the utility’s power supply.

Thank you for doing your part for a clean energy future for San Antonio.
