Supporter,

Try to act surprised when I break this news: fossil fuel utilities don't always tell the truth. Especially when it comes to climate change. Especially when the truth makes them look bad.

There's too much at stake to let them get away with it. These companies must stop greenwashing their plans, and reduce their emissions at the scale and pace climate science says is necessary to fight climate change. That's why Sierra Club champions are leading the way to hold utilities accountable, close down more coal plants, and fight for a clean energy future – but we need your help to do it. Become a member of the Sierra Club today to power our grassroots campaign to accelerate the shift to clean energy and demand that utilities make good on their commitments to a cleaner future. You'll get our Eco-Chic Reusable Bag Set with a membership gift of $25 or more!

In order to meet critical climate goals and head off the worst impacts of climate change, we need to move toward clean energy generation as quickly as possible. Many utilities that rely on coal and gas have promised to do their part by retiring coal-fired power plants and building more clean energy.

But when Sierra Club conducted an in-depth study of the nation's utilities, we uncovered an infuriating truth: most utilities aren't planning for anywhere near the clean energy needed. In fact, they're building more gas capacity than they did last year — accelerating the move toward fossil fuels.

Our planet can't wait for power companies to do the right thing. We need your help to halt new gas plant construction, shut down polluting coal plants, and do what it takes to drag utilities toward the clean energy future we need. Join us now to help organize and mobilize the grassroots movement for clean energy.

We've seen this kind of story play out again and again. Polluting industries deny and delay for as long as they can. Then, even when they've agreed to clean up their act, they'll keep avoiding responsibility. And all too often, government regulators let them off the hook.

We can't afford to play that game — not when coal and gas powered plants are spewing carbon into our atmosphere and worsening the climate crisis. Exposing the truth was the first step — now, we're counting on you to help make utilities transition to clean energy. Please, join us today.

Thank you for doing your part to immediately confront the climate crisis using every tool we've got.
