Stop Trump’s $700 million Handout to Big Coal

The Trump administration announced plans to give away $700 million in taxpayer money to prop up the dirty, toxic, and struggling coal industry. If this plan goes forward, taxpayers will fund the first new coal plants built in the United States in over a decade.  

Don't let the Trump administration take us backward. Tell Congress to stop funding for coal pollution and higher electricity bills. 

We stopped building coal plants because they make us sick. Coal pollution is already responsible for 6,500 premature deaths each year and if Trump gets his way that number will only go up with more mercury in our water and more toxic chemicals in our air. 

In addition to making us sick, coal is expensive. It costs more compared to clean, renewable energy. Families are already struggling to make ends meet as energy prices rise, we can't afford for them to go any higher.

Add your name to the petition to stop more coal pollution and higher energy prices. 

The petition to Congress reads: 

"Don’t let Trump use taxpayer money to prop up the coal industry. We need clean renewable energy to lower energy prices and reduce toxic pollution."
