Burning coal is simply the dirtiest way we know of to make electricity.

Click here to send an email to the power companies and urge them to invest in renewables and efficiency programs, not dirty coal.
With your help, we're starting to turn the tide.
Past actions have helped stop 57 new coal-fired power plants from moving past the planning stages. Special recognition is due to some courageous political leaders around our nation, such as Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, Charlie Crist of Florida, and Mark Sanford of South Carolina. But you're the ones who wrote to these governors, and others, and encouraged them to take bold stands — so thank you for your activism on this important issue.
