Coal mining, especially mountaintop removal and longwall mining, is highly destructive.  It is a major cause of air pollution, global warming and waste.  The Sierra Club is working to shut down existing coal-fired power plants and keep any new plants from being built. Coal use is down nationally. In PA, 9 old coal-burning plants have been retired or announced for retirement.  Sierra Club also works for stricter EPA standards and promotes pollution-free and inexhaustible energy sources such as solar, geothermal and wind.
