Carbon emissions from burning coal are destroying our climate. Pollution from coal plants is making our air and water unsafe. At the same time, an outdated federal coal-leasing program still allows big coal companies to shortchange American taxpayers for mining on public land. It amounts to a giveaway to some of the worst polluters in America, and it’s time for it to end.

Tell BLM to stop selling our public coal at firesale prices

The Bureau of Land Management has approved mining more than two billion tons of coal in the last six years — and has never denied a coal lease.

The American people — you — deserve a fair price for the minerals on your land. More than that, you deserve to know that your government isn’t giving away dirty, dangerous coal to a huge and polluting industry.
