As part of the Global Finance Campaign, RAN is spearheading a “No New Coal” campaign – calling for a moratorium on the construction of new coal-fired power plants. This demand is also being made by people like Vice President Al Gore, Senators John Edwards and John Kerry, Dr. James Hansen (chief climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute) – and a growing list of respected scientists, politicians, NGO’s and everyday citizens. Our dependence on fossil fuels like coal presents an unacceptable burden on public health, the environment, and our climate.
