This Executive Order only serves the wealthy fossil fuel and utility corporations that poison our communities by drilling, fracking, and burning. Ignoring the climate crisis does not mean that it impacts us any less.
New Hampshire has no concrete greenhouse gas emission reduction goals or legislative-mandated climate action plans. That said, it’s in the best interest of the Department of Energy and the general public to ensure our energy policy meets the needs of Granite Staters in an affordable, safe, healthy way that also addresses the problems facing our current energy system.
Thanks to the No Coal No Gas campaign - supported by the Climate Disobedience Center and 350 New Hampshire - the last coal plant in the region is set to become a “renewable energy park.”
Clean, renewable energy is more reliable and more affordable now than ever before - and it’s outpacing coal and fracked gas. To claim that taking environmental justice into account will cost ratepayers more is a false narrative. Flooding and tornadoes cost much more than climate solutions.
CONCORD, NH - New Hampshire residents and community advocates called on Eversource and NH Legislators to prevent more utility rate hikes and end electricity shut offs.

No Coal No Gas Campaign activists blockaded a CSX unit train carrying over 10,000 tons of coal to Merrimack Station in Bow, NH.

No Coal No Gas activists elected a slate of climate activists and allies to the Coordinating Committee of the Consumer Liaison Group (CLGCC) of the regional grid operator, ISO New England (ISO-NE).
There once was a quiet, beautiful state called New Hampshire, known for its beautiful White Mountains. While pretty on the outside, one needed to only look into a golden-domed building in the capital of Concord to reveal the horror within. What’s spookier than climate denial?
