Organized by @actonclimateUS, the event was a call to @POTUS and @EPA to adopt more stringent standards for air toxics like #mercury and fulfill commitments to #climateaction.

#SanAntonio's #climate plan requires the City to reduce emissions by about 43 percent by 2030. @CPSEnergy recently started developing a plan to shut the JK Spruce #coal plant by 2030. This graphic shows why the coal plant is such a big deal: https://t.co/xRrnBgLdeK

We really wanted her to be a @CPSEnergy board member. The board chose someone else. But Dr. Cantú is helping lead the CPS (improving?) Rate Advisory Committee. @AnaSandovalSATX has stepped up as a Council liaison to the group. pic.twitter.com/rWw56fYW3j
The news hook on new @EPA air toxics (see: https://t.co/h8grsMdQoP) and cross-state regs was eclipsed by talk of closing the coal plant bc (honestly) by the time new standards are adopted/enforced we ... (also we check notes) ... COULD HAVE JUST CLOSED THE PLANT DOWN.

Heard folks talking about closing #Spruce "as soon as possible" this morning. Really for the first time ever.

Responding to our mildly pushy request of @AnaSandovalSATX for clarity:
"If we can find some way of doing that sooner (than 2030) I absolutely would push for that." pic.twitter.com/yTaK6uJLkr
