Tell NRG to keep their promise and shut down or clean up the Somerset power plant
8 years ago NRG promised Pauline and her neighbors that they would shut down the old coal fired power plant in their neighborhood, or renovate it to run on clean burning fuel.
Instead of keeping their promise, NRG wants to turn this into a new, so-called "clean coal" plant that would not only continue to run on coal, but could also use potentially toxic construction waste.
