The Sierra Club has been working since 1892 to protect communities, wild places, and the planet itself. We are the oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States. Sierra Club's the Beyond Coal Campaign has placed coal squarely at the center of the national energy debate, painting it as a dirty fuel of the past and laying the groundwork to move the U.S. beyond coal. According to NASA climate expert Dr. James Hansen, ending coal's contribution to global warming pollution is the silver bullet to averting runaway global warming. The Sierra Club's Coal Campaign is leading the charge to make this happen.
