RAN supporters and a large group of Energy Actionites descended into our nation’s capital outside a Merrill Lynch corporate office today. It seems a bit more chilly in DC but RAN folks braved the cold for a good hour of petitioning, flyering and chattin’ it up with passersby. Nice job folks! You can see more [...]

The first of many actions across the country are occurring. Today, at noon, the Billionaires for Coal announced their “support” for Merrill Lynch in its funding of the controversial TXU coal power plant project. Merrill Lynch is one of three lead banks who are helping to fund the $10 billion dollar project that will pump [...]

Today’s New York Times highlights growing skepticism about “clean coal.” Coal companies like TXU are trying to have their cake and eat it too. Industry spin describes plants like the eleven planned facilities in Texas as “capture-ready;” this apparently means saving a little extra space in the plan for hypothetical carbon-capture equipment so that it [...]

Here’s a fun Valentine’s action from our clean car coalition partners in the UK. Hand out Valentines to all those drivers who are driving the demand for more fuel efficient vehicles. They’re using their buying power to send a message to the automakers that we want fuel efficiency on the road now. So, let’s thank [...]

Citigroup Inc, a company we continue to work extensively with on developing environmental standards for its funding policies, is lagging behind. Way behind. Some of you may have read the article in the WSJ this morning about the laggardly shuffle Citigroup seems to be doing around the issue of climate change. Specifically, the massive coal [...]

Cross-posted from Stanifesto. Having grown up in northwest Indiana, the very epicenter of the SuperBowl, I would be sorely remiss if I did not mention it at least in passing. But now that I have, let’s talk a moment about a much larger game being played, with much higher stakes. Over the last six years, [...]

West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin was given over 400 kids letters in a surprise delivery by activists from Rainforest Action Network and Coal River Mountain Watch at the South Charleston Chamber of Commerce Groundhog Day breakfast. After evading concerned citizens and attempting to shuffle the activists off to lackey’s lackey the day before, the activists [...]
