Clean energy activists touring Southern California’s dirtiest gas plants.
There are close to 200 existing gas-fired power plants operating in California, and the majority of them are near working families. In the electrical sector, we are working toward phasing out the dirtiest power plants in the state, located near working families, and replacing them with cost-effective clean energy resources.
Working families have long suffered the brunt of the burden of the fossil fuel economy, and an equitable clean energy future means healthy communities for a healthy future and a healthy planet. We must prioritize the retirement of the dirtiest power plants, and transform the most impacted communities into healthy and thriving communities.
