Stop Cliffside: Invest in Green Jobs

Charlotte, NC - On Monday, April 20th, 2009 over 300 citizens took a stand against the proposed Cliffside coal-fired power plant.

The demonstration was organized by a coalition of over a dozen environmental, faith-based and social justice groups, which are calling on Duke Energy and the state of North Carolina to cancel construction of the Cliffside coal power plant. The plant is predicted to cost $2.4 billion and emit an estimated six million tons of carbon dioxide every year for the next 50 years.

The Cliffside Climate Action is the latest in the growing wave of civil disobedience demanding that we get our country off dirty energy and coal power. Duke Energys investment in the construction of two coal-fired power plants weakens our nation's ability to be a green jobs leader.
