Subject: No child deserves coal-fired power in their stocking. Take
action!

No child deserves coal-fired power in their stocking.
For generations, children have been threatened with coal in their
stocking for being naughty — but coal-fired power is a punishment
that can last 40 years or more. Coal power is the greatest source
of global warming pollution and brain-damaging mercury emissions.
Don't let Congress use coal to solve our energy crisis!
Hello Vivianne,
For generations, children have been threatened with coal in their
stocking for being naughty — but giving kids coal-fired power
plants is a punishment that can last 40 years or more. Tell
Congress NO to more coal-fired power plants!
Today, coal provides about half of our nation's electricity — at
great cost to our health, land, water, and climate. Coal power is
currently America's single biggest source of global warming
pollution and brain-damaging mercury emissions. In addition, coal
mining pollutes our drinking water and is an extremely dangerous
occupation.
Stand up for your health and the health of our earth. Tell Congress
to promote clean energy, not coal power!
Utilities across the country are pushing to build more than 150 new
coal-fired power plants. Most of these plants would use old
"pulverized coal" technology that is designed to last at least
40-50 years. But it's not too late to tell Congress our kids
deserve better than coal.
This holiday season, ask your members of Congress to start the new
year fresh by promoting energy efficiency and clean, renewable
sources of electricity like wind and solar. Sign the petition:
