Tell the Public Service Commission: No Fracked Gas Power Plants in Maryland -Comment period extended!
<http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=e23b86ce0a68f811223f65c16f23e65c1241567ad6688b9170d57c014578188ad5f0c91324937ba74bac0fc4710666bcda6a378b0428a508> The old Crane coal-fired electricity plant retired in June 2018 when operators (PJM) agreed it is no longer needed for electricity in the region.
Now, there is an active proposal seeking to reopen this old polluting facility as a “peaker plant”, using dangerous, fracked gas. It would spew high levels of toxic emissions, even when air quality is already poor on very hot days. Asthma-related hospitalization rates in Baltimore City are nearly three times the U.S. average! The comment period has been extended into May! Tell the PSC: <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=5185346b3e369a5c6d6fb4885be0377f7eac1f7e78659b269a4438b7063f368211155d3e2c09b98e27aa5cdf1e82ffef9688751e19218196> No fracked gas power plants in our Community!

Beyond Coal Strategy Update and Discussion
<http://image.emails.sierraclub.org/lib/fe9713727460057a77/m/1/8b5a3df5-e09f-4f6e-9928-b6c9402291f1.png>
Maryland still has 6 dirty, polluting coal fired power plants spewing 9 million metric tons of CO2 each year, equal to the pollution of nearly 2 million cars.
Sierra Club is undertaking a coal community transition campaign to retire all Maryland’s coal plants by 2025, and create a coal community transition fund to support impacted workers and communities. We plan to build the coalition of environmental groups, labor, communities, public officials, and partners needed to move MD Beyond Coal and into a clean energy economy centered on equity and justice.
Most importantly, we want to listen to your ideas for making the vision of a coal-free Maryland a reality and discuss how we can work together to grow our movement. Contact Matt.Dernoga at mdsierra.org <mailto:Matt.Dernoga at mdsierra.org>
