Let's Help PSE Quit the Coal Habit

Coal is a dirty, dangerous and increasingly expensive fuel. In Washington, if you are a Puget Sound Energy (PSE) customer, you may be surprised that over one-third of your energy comes from coal. While PSE supports many clean energy programs, a large portion of the energy supplied by Puget Sound Energy comes from the biggest, most polluting coal-fired power plant in the West—the Colstrip Generating Facility in Eastern Montana.

Right now, PSE has a momentous opportunity to invest in clean energy and create good jobs in Washington State by moving beyond coal. Instead of continuing to rely on dirty coal, which harms people’s health and the environment, PSE should replace coal with cleaner forms of energy.

Take Action

Tell PSE: Be Honest About the True Cost of Coal!

Right now, Puget Sound Energy is developing a plan to decide what kind of energy investments it will make for years to come.

In this plan, they are evaluating the costs and liabilities of continued operation of their out-dated coal fired power plant -- a plant that emits 15 millions tons of CO2 annually, as much as three million cars each year.

It is crucial that PSE incorporates the true cost of coal into their assessment in order to halt the growth of climate disrupting carbon pollution.

Tell PSE to acknowledge the true cost of coal and do your part to heal the climate.
