CPS Energy: Shut Down Spruce (We're Out of Time)
Channel: Climate Action SA
Date: 2019-01-12

On January 11, 2019, former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Bloomberg Philanthropies was delivering around $2.5 million to aid San Antonio's climate change work. A draft climate action plan intended to eliminate San Antonio's greenhouse gas pollution is being released this month with an expected Council vote in April. It shows the largest climate offenders are the city's two coal plants.
JT 'Dirty' Deely shut down on December 31, 2018, eliminating 4.2 million metric tons per year of greenhouse gases. JK Spruce is still burning. It pumps out 7.2 million metric tons of greenhouse gases per year. There is not plan to shut it down.
While current and former councilmembers have long said they don't have the authority to tell CPS Energy what to do, Mayor Nirenberg said we have the power to do just that. Let's make sure he remembers.
