Entergy wants to
convert their Little Gypsy power plant to
Burn dirty coal and
make you pay for it!!

Entergy wants you to pay
for their new power plant in advance

Normally a utility would build their generating plant and then charge the consumer for the electricity they produce. Entergy wants to charge their customers in advance for their $1.5 billion power plant.

Entergy will cause even more Global Warming
By burning dirty coal instead of natural gas, Entergy will produce more Global Warming pollution which means more powerful hurricanes, rising seas, droughts and hotter weather.

Entergy's new coal plant will pollute
By burning dirty coal instead of natural gas as it does now, Entergy will put out more pollutants that cause heart and lung damage, cancer, and nerve damage in children.

You can tell the
Public Service Commission to say NO to Entergy

The Public Service Commission is elected to see that utilities safely provide reliable electricity at a reasonable price, and guarantees them a profit. By switching to dirtier fuels like coal, Entergy makes you & your family less safe by harming our health and by causing more Global Warming. Entergy puts us at risk for higher future prices because Congress will pass carbon taxes and other ways of coping with Global Warming. The PSC can tell Entergy to switch to clean renewable energy like wind and solar instead of to dirty coal.

Call them at (800) 256-2397
and 225-342-4404 or 225-342-2831 (Fax)

Say, “Tell the commissioners to say no to Dirty Coal Power!”

Our Story
The Alliance is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to creating fair, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy policies. Founded in 1985 in New Orleans, the Alliance conducts community education campaigns on energy issues, helps citizens and businesses become more energy efficient, and promotes sustainable energy policy solutions. As the only Louisiana consumer advocacy/environmental organization, the Alliance plays a pivotal role in providing citizen input on energy-related issues. Since its inception, the organization’s mission has evolved to cover energy issues affecting citizens from reducing energy bills to being the state's lead organizer in the fight to stop global warming. In the wake of the devastating 2005 hurricanes, the Alliance is using its regulatory, policy development, networking and outreach skills to ensure that New Orleans and the region utilize available sustainable technologies and smart planning choices as reconstruction occurs.
