About two dozen protesters, along with an inflatable replica of a coal plant, waged a demonstration against Arizona Public Service Co. on Wednesday to encourage the utility to shut its Cholla Power Plant in northern Arizona.
The protesters said they would like APS to use more renewable power sources, such as solar, instead of the coal-fired plant.
“APS wants to keep us tied to a dirty coal-fired power plant for at least another decade,” said Will Greene, a Sierra Club representative who led the protesters in a march to APS headquarters to deliver petitions favoring the plant’s closure.
