Say NO to Coal!

SEVEN NEW DIRTY COAL PLANTS THREATEN MICHIGAN!

STATE LEGISLATORS MUST STOP MORE GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION AND INVEST IN MICHIGAN'S CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

Our state is threatened with an onslaught of at least seven new dirty coal-fired power plants that will keep Michigan locked in the energy dark ages, dependent on imported fossil fuels, and produce more dangerous global warming pollution. More outdated dirty coal plants will hamper the development of clean energy and the good paying jobs that come with it. But you can help stop this from happening by signing an online petition that tells state legislators to Stop the Coal Rush by passing legislation to establish a NO NEW COAL PLANT PERMITS policy until Michigan has an aggressive Clean Energy Plan that would:

Enact a strong renewable energy standard that requires energy providers to generate 20 percent of their electric power from renewable sources by 2020.

Enact strong statewide utility funded energy efficiency programs that result in at least 1% energy savings per year.

Implement a long term energy plan that guarantees energy efficiency and renewable power are used before any more coal plants are built.

Protect consumers from having to absorb the skyrocketing future costs of coal burning.

Develop new standards for controlling the emissions of CO2.

Tell legislators in Lansing that it's time to put old-fashioned, dirty, global-warming inducing coal power aside, and point the state to a new, clean, jobs-rich future that protects the Great Lakes and helps stop global warming pollution. Investing in clean power and efficiency will eliminate the need for more dirty coal plants, build Michigan's energy independence, stem our loss of billions of energy dollars, and attract 21st-century jobs.

Time is of the essence. Please sign the following petition right now and tell your friends that Michigan's energy future is on the line.
