Beyond Coal is one of the most extensive, effective, and long-lasting campaigns in the history of the environmental movement. Through our national campaign and chapters across the country, we advocate for an electric power system run on affordable, reliable clean energy and not fossil fuels.
By mobilizing our members, deepening grassroots leadership, and winning local victories, we are building power for long-term, durable climate and justice wins.
We engage over a million members and supporters to intervene in public utility dockets, in litigation, and before state and federal agencies to advocate for clean energy. We build broad, inclusive coalitions that bring together local consumer advocates, labor organizations, large energy consumer groups, clean energy advocates, and environmental justice leaders.
More About Our CampaignMost utilities in the United States lack the truly ambitious plans needed to make the clean energy transition a reality.
What utilities do, or don't do, over the next decade will either drive us to more polluting, expensive fossil fuels or lead us to a clean energy transition. What is your utility doing?

The decrease in air pollution from coal plant retirements to date has prevented over 60,000 premature deaths, 100,000 heart attacks, and 1,000,000 asthma attacks! See which coal plants are polluting your community.
Grassroots pressure combined with economic realities will end the fossil fuel industry, and consumers and workers alike are speeding this inevitable transition.
Our map shows the existing coal plants in America and those that have retired or committed to retirement. We also track where gas pipelines and plants are threatening a clean energy future. We’re working toward a future where these maps show clean, renewable energy.
