Phasing out fossil fuels is within our grasp. Last week, New England decided to go completely coal-free. And it’s all thanks to our friends at the No Coal No Gas campaign, an initiative launched by 350 New Hampshire and Climate Disobedience Center, who just shut down New England’s last remaining coal plant.
That’s right: The entire region of New England will be coal-free, and it’s a direct result of years of direct and strategic action from 350NH and its partners!
Now, the coal plant’s owner, Granite Shore Power, is forced to make a plan to bring clean renewable energy to a community that has been burdened by coal for too long.
But the fight isn’t over yet.
The No Coal No Gas campaign is mobilizing right now to push for a faster transition to fossil fuels locally and throughout New England — and they need our urgent help to build on their recent victory striking down coal.
The campaign has shown that New Hampshire does not need fossil fuels to meet its energy needs and is ready to transition to clean energy, including at times of peak energy demand.
But millions of dollars from their electricity bills are still going to make sure fossil fuels stay on the grid.
Thank you for taking action!- Team 350
