Report: Clean Closure Of Coal Ash Ponds Creates More Jobs, Boosts Local Economies

Credit NIPSCO Fully removing coal ash near coal plants creates more jobs and boosts local economies better than leaving the ash in place. That’s according to a new report by the nonprofit environmental group Earthjustice. The northern Indiana utility NIPSCO plans to remove coal ash from five ponds at its Michigan City Generating Station which will close by 2028, but will keep a legacy coal ash pond in place as well as coal ash fill on the site. Activists with Just Transition NWI said for this reason, NIPSCO s plan can t be considered a clean closure. Earthjustice said removing all the coal ash would not only reduce potential pollution to local waterways and open up more opportunities for redevelopment it would also create seven times as many jobs and add about $8 million more to the area’s GDP over about a decade.
