| sanane, | “The Senate must defend the EPA’s ability under the Clean Air Act to protect Americans from the true cost of coal.”
 | According to a new groundbreaking report from Harvard, coal is costing Americans up to an extra HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS every year.
But it’s what’s behind the dollar amounts from the report that really matters. We’re talking about kids with asthma, mothers taking time off of work to take care of sick relatives, communities turning into cancer clusters, climate change…the list goes on and on.
Back in Washington, however, our elected leaders are being pressured by the deep pockets of the coal industry to take away the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ability to regulate coal-fired power plants. Saying it will cost Americans too much money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Coal will cost us even more if the EPA loses this ability.
That’s why we are going to personally deliver a copy of the Harvard report to both of your Senators along with signatures from the people they're elected to represent in Washington. We won't let them ignore or pretend they don't know about the extra half a trillion dollars coal is costing all of us every year or how their constituents feel about it.
Pleas join us by adding your name to our petition right now and we’ll make sure it is included in the delivery to your Senators.
This report marks the first time ever that all of the effects during the lifecycle of coal -- from mining to burning in coal-fired power plants -- have been accounted for and the results are staggering. The hundreds of coal-fired power plants across the country are driving these effects. Which is why Greenpeace is launching a new campaign this year that will take the fight directly to these dirty polluters.
Bridgeport, Connecticut is home to one of these plants. And Greenpeace activists were there today to send a simple message -- “Shut it down. Quit coal.” It’s a message we’ll be repeating over and over again at plants everywhere. It’s the same message we’ll be delivering to your Senators along with the report. Sign the petition today and let's make sure the Senate defends the EPA's ability to protect us from the true cost of coal.
Quit coal,
Kelly Mitchell
Greenpeace Coal Campaigner
P.S. We're going to collect these petitions up until March 1st. So be sure to forward this around and get your friends involved.  |
