BEYOND COAL

2012

Phase 2: Replace coal plants with clean energy (2010-2015)

Phase 1: Stop the rush to build new coal (2005-2012)• Stop 90% of all new plants• Build an anti-coal movement and infrastructure

We will win in three phases.

Phase 2: Replace coal plants with clean energy (2010-2015)• Retire 1/3 fleet (2020); reduce carbon and health impacts• Replace coal with clean energy, not natural gas• End coal exports

Phase 3: Accelerate deployment of clean energy (2015-2030)• Set up retirement of rest of coal fleet• Clean energy displaces coal

Emissions from Fossil-Fueled Power Plants as a Percent of Total U.S. Air Emissions

Why coal?

Source: U.S. EPA, “Reducing Toxic Pollution from Power Plants,” March 16, 2011, p. 6.Note: The figure includes emissions from oil-fired units as well as coal-fired, but oil-fired units account for only 1% of U.S. electric generation. Air emissions are not necessarily the major source of exposure for each of these pollutants.
