We can't wait to act on coal ash! Americans deserve clean energy. We shouldn't be poisoned by dirty coal plants and coal ash, and then be asked to foot the bill. Tell the President and the EPA.

Coal ash is a concentrated toxic by-product of burning coal and is a growing problem across the nation. The EPA and the National Academy of Sciences research show that coal ash is toxic, and threatens human health.

Yet Big Coal has been fighting any change to the status quo, lobbying against these proposed regulations and asking the nation’s energy regulators to charge ratepayers for any coal ash cleanup charges.

How bad is it? Studies have shown that these coal ash sites are so toxic that they can increase cancer risk to a staggering 1 in 50. That needs to stop now.

Send a message to President Obama and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) telling them to regulate coal ash, and to enact policies ensuring its safe disposal and stopping its use on roads.
