Fisk and Crawford Coal Powered Plant Awareness Campaign

In June 2010, the Rain Forest Action Network teamed up with a group of artists to raise awareness about the Fisk and Crawford Coal Powered Plants on Chicago's near south side. Most of the residents don't know the plants are burning coal, and the resulting power doesn't even benefit Chicago. Health risks from living near these plants are are real and numerous.

These plants are actually very efficient. Most of the emissions coming out of the stack is water. The local car and truck traffic are the signiifcant contributors to NOX and CO2 in the pilsen and little village areas. The stacks were designed to be 500' which takes the small insignificant NOX and CO2 into the upper atmosphere. Yeah close these plants and take a few million dollars out of these communities. The people who made this do not work or live there.
