What a year it’s been for No Coal No Gas - The end of the coal plant’s life is near and our work to transition it to clean energy is ramping up. Read on about the awesome work our friends have done this year.

We are here today to call for a just transition of Merrimack Station for land and people, so that this place can support life instead of destroy it. A different future is possible and through our action today we hope to show what that might look like.

Below are some of the highlights from No Coal No Gas’s official filings to FERC and letters to the office of public participation.
