Unfortunately, Chicago's largest producer of power plant pollution - Midwest Generation - continues to fight any attempt to bring its power plants up to modern standards. Every year, Chicago's biggest smokestacks spew 17,000 tons of toxins with no end in sight.
Power plant emissions are dangerous and deadly. They produce ozone smog and deadly particle pollution, causing thousands of asthma attacks, emergency room visits and hospitalizations as well as hundreds of deaths annually in metropolitan Chicago every single year.
Fisk, originally built in 1903, and Crawford, built in the 1920s, still lack the basic pollution controls required on newer plants. Perhaps the company is so focused on profits that it simply does not care about protecting the health of Chicago residents, especially those in the Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods surrounding the plants.
We need city leaders to launch an initiative similar to the one conducted by Blagojevich. Cleaning up Midwest Generation's plants could save hundreds of lives and reduce the effects of asthma in our communities.
