Coal is by far the dirtiest of the fossil fuels that are heating up the Earth. Mountaintop removal ravages the environment and destroys communities. Burning coal to produce electricity seriously affects human health, air quality, global warming and wildlife. An average coal-fired power plant produces more greenhouse gas emissions per year than 300,000 cars!

James Hansen of NASA and Al Gore have both called for a moratorium on any new coal. Lend your voice to this call. Once we get 10,000 signatures, we will hand-deliver this petition to key Congresspeople.
