Victories to Keep
More Coal in the Ground
(Cause That’s Where it Belongs!)

Dear Guardian,

WildEarth Guardians’ Climate and Energy Program is tearing it up for the climate, this time securing three rulings that promise to keep millions of tons of coal in the ground and millions more tons of carbon out of our atmosphere. 

It’s plain and simple. You and me, we’re winning. Because as much as we’re getting the job done, we can’t possibly keep our coal in the ground without your support and belief in our ability to get that job done.

In the past two weeks, the success has been immense. 

We overturned an expansion of Peabody’s Twentymile coal mine in northwestern Colorado.

We derailed Pacifiorp’s plans to expand the Bridger coal mine in southern Wyoming.

Topping it off, we secured a court ruling ordering the Obama Administration to conduct an unprecedented environmental review of the San Juan coal mine in northwest New Mexico.

We’re not just saying “Keep it in the Ground,” we’re making it happen. In doing so, we’re protecting our public lands, keeping our climate safe, and opening the door for clean energy to flourish.

It’s a testament to our effectiveness and ability to think big and score big results for our climate and clean energy future. Our crack Climate and Energy Team, including our Staff Attorney, Samantha Ruscavage-Barz, our Campaign Director, Tim Ream, and Senior Campaigner, Rebecca Sobel, all know how to get the job done.

The momentum to move away from coal is building and we’re going to keep leading the way. Thank you for believing in us.

For the wild,

P.S.  These latest victories come on the heels of securing a historic moratorium on new coal leasing earlier this year. We’re winning, but we can’t stop until we’ve won for good!

P.P.S.  We’re also bringing the fight to keep fossil fuels in the ground to the oil and gas industry, read more about our recent landmark lawsuit to thwart oil and gas leasing across 380,000 acres of our public lands.
