Coal Free Massachusetts
Shut down the remaining coal-fired power plants in Massachusetts by 2020.
Why is this important?
Coal-fired power plants are the largest source of global warming pollution in Massachusetts. In addition, these power plants release mercury, a potent neurotoxin, as well as smog and soot-forming emissions that threaten public health. We should be shifting away from dirty, dangerous energy sources like coal and embracing clean, renewable energy to power our lives.
