Western Clean Energy CampaignWelcome to the homepage of the Western Clean Energy Campaign! The Campaign was formed to connect and fund local and regional groups across the West who are fighting the development of dirty coal plants and promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency. The Campaign uses a two-pronged approach in addressing the growth of coal in the West. The Grassroots Project aims to help state and local organizations in developing and implementing effective plans to oppose new coal plant construction. WCEC assists in community organizing efforts, media campaigns, coalition building, and also provides technical information about coal plants, alternative energy, and regulatory processes. The Legal Project provides assistance with submitting comments on proposed permitting processes and helps provide legal assistance for potential permits appeals and other legal actions. WCEC works with many groups on the ground, including:
Use this website to find out about the damage caused by coal plants, why the West does not need more coal development and how we can move forward towards a cleaner, renewable future. Using the links on the right side of the page, you can read about the damage caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, the relationship between global climate change and coal plants, how coal plants affect parents, farmers, and ratepayers and much more. In addition, you will find contact information for local activist groups both spread throughout the website and concentrated under the Get Involved! link. Coal plants negatively affect all of us in different ways, and you can help to stop the coal rush by taking action in your region. We hope that the information provided here will be helpful to you, and we encourage you to join the Campaign and stand up against dirty coal. For more information, feel free to contact us at the Campaign directly. Thank you for your interest! Jennifer Coken |
