Recently, “Block RICL” signs were damaged, removed, and thrown at the end of my driveway. Whoever did this, please stop and find out about Block RICL’s cause before attacking individual members. Also, shooting holes in signs adjacent to Interstate 39 endangers people.

Block RICL is a grassroots organization of friends, neighbors, landowners, and concerned citizens who oppose Rock Island Clean Line’s plan to build 200-foot-tall, 3,500-megawatt direct-current transmission lines across Iowa and Illinois.

Block RICL does not oppose clean energy or jobs being brought to Illinois. We do oppose billions of dollars in unnecessary and irresponsible transmission-line projects that we, as consumers and taxpayers, will pay for.
