No More Polluting Coal Power Plants!

Hi Shannah,James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Space Institute called a moratorium on coal power plants “the most critical action for saving the planet at this time.”Sign the petition to tell Congress to stop the building of any new coal-fired power plants that cannot trap and store CO2! >> When former Vice President Al Gore testified in Congress at this time last year, he urged Congress to enact a moratorium on new coal power plants, because there IS an alternative to this dirty energy. Congress is just afraid of making the coal industry giants angry. Experts say that about 69 percent of U.S. electricity needs could be met by solar power by 2050, and that solar power could be the nation’s sole electricity source by 2100! There is an alternative. Send a message to Congress today saying No More Coal Power Plants! >> Thank you for taking action today! Sincerely,Emily Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team

Last year, Al Gore told Congress that coal power plants represent a polluting, outdated energy source. We need a moratorium on the construction of any new coal power plants, at least until we have the capability to safely trap and store CO2. Forward to a friend >> Read the peti
