 ut-peakers-jul23/\n\nSpeak out for Clean Air! Come join our Put Peakers in
  the Past Coalition for this stand-out protest to let folks know about Pit
 tsfield Generating’s peaker power plant\, now filing for renewal of its 
 Air Quality Permit. This peaker plant: - Over 30 years old - Runs on frack
 ed gas or oil - Only runs when demand on the grid hits peak\, yet is the 2
 nd largest polluter in Berkshire Co. - Emits super-fine PM2.5 particulate 
 matter\, nitrous oxides and sulfur oxides - Contributes to respiratory and
  cardiovascular health complications - Is directly across from Allendale E
 lementary\, about a mile and a half from from Morningside and Williams and
  John Reid Middle School\, and less than two miles from PHS and Herberg Mi
 ddle School - Located in the heart of Pittsfield\, right near Environmenta
 l Justice neighborhoods - Could be replaced by zero-emissions grid-scale b
 attery storage\, charged by zero-emissions renewable energy. We’re stand
 ing out in the streets of Pittsfield to let everyone know that this aging 
 fossil fuel plant is polluting our air and needs to convert to zero emissi
 ons. The Mass Department of Environmental Protection needs to deny the Air
  Quality Permit\, and we need folks in our community to demand this when t
 he time for the permit hearing comes.\n\n**NOTICE: Poles and sticks for si
 gns\, flags and banners are NOT allowed in Pittsfield. Please don't bring 
 anything attached to a pole or stick. 🙂\n\nDo you plan to come to the s
 tand out? Let us know by RSVP. RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/4tptws2w
