COFFEEN POWER PLANT CLOSING (& 3 Others statewide)-!!!!!!

Four Illinois Coal-Burning Power Plants Closing | Peoria Public Radio



Devastating news for the local communities as well as fisherman everywhere! the Winter time fun is over!! Horrible news for Crappie & Bass Anglers. One of THE best Crappie lakes in the state will be no more! RIP COFFEEN! Sad to see such a amazing fishery go!

If it's like everything else the government does it will be 5 years before if/when it happens.

i hope your right, but the article states that it will close by the end of the year! You are being redirected...

Yup heard this too but up here it will hurt the already poor waterfowlimg. Duck creek is a huge resting area for migrating ducks & geese

the lake will still be open to fishing, just no more warm water discharge which makes coffeen just another lake, no longer year round growth for the fish. it is/was Truly a unique cold weather warm water fishery.

Dang

Never takes Gov too long to raise the taxes

Seems like things just keep going down hill

Is it real this time? Seams like every fall we hear about this. Could it be a scare tactic, by the company to the state?
