Interchange – Kerwin Olson – Citizens Action Coalition

Play

Host Mylo Roze spends an hour with Kerwin Olson, Outreach Coordinator for the Citizens Action Coalition. Primary topics are the CAC’s efforts to stop Duke Energy from building a new coal-fired power plant in Edwardsport and a public hearing in Bloomington to be held in August. Hear about CAC’s inspiring legacy of victories in citizen advocacy, particularly in fighting utility rate hikes, and their key role in stopping the Marble Hill Nuclear Plant from being built in Indiana. Mylo and Kerwin also touch upon the climate changing emissions, health problems and economic drain caused by power plant pollution and taxpayer-subsidized corporate manipulations of the market. We also discuss ongoing lobbying efforts and current campaigns conducted by the Citizens Action Coalition and the level of responsiveness from local politicians and state legislators.
