Hold the Biggest Polluters Accountable

The EPA has proposed new rules that – for the first time ever – would require dirty coal plants to meet modern standards for global warming pollution. Coal plants are America's largest single source of global warming pollution. But the coal industry and big power companies are fighting the clean up.

We need your help to show that Americans support cutting pollution from dirty coal plants and moving to clean energy sources, like wind and solar power.

Global Warming

With the help of Environment New York staff, our national federation Environment America is running campaigns in more than a dozen states and at the national level to pass strong global warming pollution laws. More.

Letter * Dear EPA Administrator Jackson: Attention Docket ID NO. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0517. It's time to take back control of our energy future. By harnessing the power of the wind and the sun, we can cut global warming pollution and transition to clean energy sources that don't harm the environment, never run out, and create new, local jobs. But we will only succeed if we require coal-fired power plants-America's largest single source of global warming pollution-and other big smokestack industries to stop polluting with impunity. As a first step, please finalize a strong rule to require big smokestack industries to meet modern pollution standards for carbon when new facilities are constructed or existing facilities are significantly modified.
