Coal is Over. Fund the Future.

Rather than turn to cleaner, safer options for energy, the US is in the midst of a "Coal Rush," proposing to build over 150 new coal-fired power plants, and relaxing laws to allow even more rampant coal mining to destroy communities and ecosystems. Numerous studies show that prioritizing clean renewable energy will provide far greater benefits to our climate, environment, communities, jobs and our economy than continuing to invest in outdated and harmful fossil fuels.

Citi

Despite making small steps to reduce their internal carbon footprint (such as their direct emissions from their offices), Citi needs to be accountable to the billions of dollars they invest in dirty energy.

Bank of America

Bank of America has financed billions of dollars supporting dozens of new coal-fired power plants. If these proposed plants are built, Bank of America will be helping finance hundreds of millions of tons of new C02 emissions every single year.
