Thank you all so much for being a part of No Coal No Gas this year, and we can wait to scheme with you! Here’s what 2024 meant for our organizing.
ISO-NE & No Coal No Gas Organizing Update
Finally Passed a Stack Test After Changing The Rules
No Coal No Gas ISO Board Meeting Statement
If the board of ISO-NE thinks that it can hide from public engagement by hosting inaccessible meetings in boycotted locations, you are mistaken. While you hide in luxury hotels talking only to each other, we are taking action in our communities, building relationships and solidarity, making each other stronger, and continuing to organize in ways that will push for a swifter and more just grid transition.
Our Action Last Sunday
Begin as you wish to continue, they say. We did. We started big! We showed up at 5 plants on the same day with the same message for each one: plant by plant we will end the practice of profiting from the fossil fuels that are causing such damage, plant by plant we will continue creating communities that care for one another and for our tender, beautiful earth. Join us as we climb on.
Docket Drama 2024 Edition: ISO-NE Tariff Violations
FERC’s response to our comments suggests that New England’s millions of residential ratepayers should have no effective way to participate in decisions about the billions of dollars taken from their utility bills every year to manage the grid and fund NEPOOL, a “stakeholder process” that keeps out the public. If the stakeholder process is the appropriate venue for comment, then we’ll need to create a stakeholder process that doesn’t lock us out.
Our New Goal #3
2024 Auction of Horrible Things
Granite Shore Power Maintains Unique Position Despite Complex Regulatory and Financial Challenges
As the lists of permit violations and indications of financial insolvency continue to grow, community pressure to shut down the coal plant also builds. The No Coal No Gas campaign has shown up at the plant, in the surrounding community, and at energy regulatory meetings, determined to shut down the polluting coal plant.
