Beyond Coal Campaign

Coal provides a fifth of Washington’s electricity, and more global warming pollution than any other source in Washington. From the mine to the plant, coal is our dirtiest energy source. It causes asthma and other health problems, destroys our mountains, and releases toxic mercury into our communities.

We can do better. Find out more about how we can move Washington beyond coal.

Tell Governor Gregoire to
Move Washington Beyond Coal.
The TransAlta coal plant is Washington’s dirtiest polluter. While the rest of the state works hard to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, this coal plant continues to burn dirty coal. It damages our environment with haze pollution, poisons our bodies with toxic mercury, and delays the creation of clean energy jobs. We can do better.
Governor Gregoire has the power to make us a coal-free state. Send her a message today.
If we all take steps together– in our homes and neighborhoods and at the State capitol– we can tackle global warming.  By making smarter energy and transportation choices, we can save money, create jobs, reduce air and water pollution and improve the health of our families.  Let’s work together as voters, community leaders, businesses and families.  Let’s make Washington State a COOL state!
