Beyond Coal

🛢️In 2024, Trump told Big Oil execs he'd protect their interests if they spent $1 BILLION to elect him. Now, he's upheld his end of the deal. New @SenateBudget report details how Trump gave Fossil Fuel companies a $3.5 BILLION *annual* tax cut to continue polluting our planet.

The Biden Administration is thankfully reinstating mercury pollution standards for coal plants after Trump threw them out. This great video featuring @SierraClub's @hollybendermsn masterfully breaks down why that's essential for our families, communities & future - check it out:

Each year, pollution from the Waukegan coal plant contributes to 18 deaths & 118 asthma attacks. We need to stop sacrificing #EJcommunities and transition Illinois away from dirty fossil fuels by 2030. Tell your legislator #CEJACantWait: sc.org/CEJAPetition

Try again, @DukeEnergy. Retire coal. No new gas. Expand renewables. rtoinsider.com/netzero/outspo…

“We welcome I&M’s decision to fully retire the Rockport Super Polluter, one of the biggest and dirtiest coal plants in the country.” @SierraClub’s @WendyBredhold on this big news about the retirement of one of the most massive coal plants in the US. Grateful for you & allies! 🙏

Tackling the climate crisis can only happen if we also confront systemic racism. Join Sierra Club's Hop Hopkins & @joshuahenry20 TODAY @ 4pmET on IG Live as they discuss the intersection of Environmental & Racial Justice, PLUS a live performance! sc.org/RacialJusticeE…

We must invest in people, and create good jobs all in a way that tackles racial inequalities and protects our public lands. This is the way we contribute to a better world for everyone. Check out the schedule and sign up for one of the virtual events! sc.org/earthday

But these issues are all interconnected -- and we have a great opportunity to create a better world for everyone -- through frameworks like the THRIVE Agenda. sc.org/earthday

Witnessing all of the challenges of today -- from structural racism, to climate-fueled disasters, to economic upheaval -- it can be overwhelming.

Our goal is nothing less than safer communities and a livable planet for everyone. sc.org/earthday

In KS & MO, Evergy is deciding between committing to an 80% carbon reduction by 2050 or an 85% carbon reduction by 2035. The 2035 plan also results in cleaner, less expensive energy. Seems like an obvious choice. Let @evergypower know which plan makes more sense to you!

.@maryannehitt is a legend and will truly be missed at the @sierraclub. Best of luck to her in her continued amazing climate work over at @EnergyInnovLLC!

I’m ready to apply what I've learned to tackling the climate crisis on a global scale, and excited to rejoin @brucenilles, my partner in building and leading @BeyondCoal, who I’ll join again at Climate Imperative where he serves as executive director. energyinnovation.org/2021/04/01/mar…
