All over this nation, local governments have become an essential part of the movement to stop global warming. Unfortunately, higher levels of government have often been lagging behind. This web site normally deals with Oregon issues, but right now we have a unique chance to help our fellow activists in Texas. The Texas state government plans to allow the utility company TXU to build eleven new giant coal plants that would release 78 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere every year. It is imperative that this project be stopped, and luckily, hundreds of people are working to make sure that plans for the coal plants are discarded. In a shining example of how local government officials can contribute to climate solutions, a coalition of Texas mayors has formed in opposition to the coal plant project - this is just the sort of thing we want to encourage in Oregon, and all over the country! Help these brave mayors out by signing a petition, sponsored by the Rainforest Action Network, which urges major banks to refuse to fund the TXU coal plants.
SIGN THE PETITION!
