There was an announcement in April, 2016, of the “HERC Clean Power Plan Coalition” with multiple groups joining to shut down HERC! Sierra Club North Star Chapter, MPIRG, Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, Community Power, St. Joan of Arc, etc. HERC has been raised as an issue in this fall’s Minneapolis Mayoral election.
Now’s the time to get it done! SHUT IT DOWN!
