Stopping the Coal Rush
Welcome, Coal Activists!
If the 100-plus coal-fired power plants currently proposed are built, the global warming pollution pumped into our air will make all our other efforts to reverse climate change irrelevant. Coal plants are the dirtiest, most regressive source of energy- poisoning our communities and environment. The Environmental Law Program is working with activists around the country to champion clean energy in the face of this unprecedented rush to build new coal plants.
We have created a number of tools to provide coal activists with key information and resources:
The Sierra Club's Environmental Law Program also provides legal and technical resources for stopping the coal rush, including:
- The top questions activists should ask about proposed coal plants.
- Keywords for permits and other legal documents.
- Information about the most stringent coal plant permits.
- General coal documents and resources, such as recent reports and fact sheets.
These legal and technical resources are password-protected; for access, email environmental.law@sierraclub.org
