Welcome to Protect Illinois' Environment (PIE). This web site is dedicated to the people of the state of Illinois, who deserve to live and should live in an environment that is healthful, where the use of resources is well-planned and evenly implemented across all borders. PIE also concerns itself with national environmental issues, believing that what affects the nation affects Illinois and the people and wildlife that live here.

PIE seeks to promote sustainable consumption and conscious choice, to maintain or improve air and water quality, and to carefully manage greenhouse gas emissions and other byproducts of current energy production and consumption.

We understand that change is, and will continue to be, the norm, but we are concerned about the current extent and pace of change, and its ultimate effect on our state, our nation, and our planet.

Our current, most pressing concern is the existence of, and the ongoing and proposed construction of, industrial wind installations in the state of Illinois. The irreparable ecological damage, mindless waste of taxpayers money, loss of visual amenity, and the terrible divisiveness that wind installations cause in both communities and families far outweigh any possible benefit their insignificant and entirely unreliable contribution to our ongoing energy needs may bring. The tremendous damage to the countryside and the huge financial burden they place on the public simply cannot be justified.

Should you have any questions or comments, please send them to the e-mail or land address listed below. Protect Illinois' Environment stands ready to assist communities faced with unwanted industrial wind installations by providing both residents and officials with information to help them make informed decisions.
