Ameren Has New Website to Make Kids Energy Savy
PEORIA, Ill. (AP) -- Ameren Illinois has a new website to teach kids all about energy.

It's called KidsActOnEnergy.com. And it features games, videos and other activities with fun ways to learn about things like renewable energy sources and energy safety.

Energy facts also are included, such as gas leaks can smell like rotten eggs, and answers to why birds can sit on power lines without getting hurt.

The utility encourages parents and teachers to use the site, too.

Ameren Illinois delivers energy to more than 1 million electric customers and more 800,000 natural gas customers. It serves more than 1,200 communities throughout Downstate Illinois.
