Oil, gas, and biomass are hanging by a thread. you likely have a peaker plant in your area! If we band together with our neighbors to take these dinosaurs out, we can make a just grid transition possible.

New Hampshire - Activists with the No Coal No Gas campaign installed art at four of the dirtiest and least economical power plants in the state this morning. Each of these facilities is owned by Granite Shore Power (GSP) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Connecticut-based private equity firm Atlas Holdings. In the afternoon, the campaign hosted a festival in Pembroke, across the river from GSP’s Merrimack Station - the region’s last coal-fired power plant.

While ending the burning of coal is an important step toward environmental justice, it does not erase the need for repair of the harms that have been caused to the land, water, and people all over New England, but especially in Bow, NH. Our work going forward must include a restorative process of addressing and repairing those ecological and interpersonal harms so we can work toward a just future together.

While we came out that day last October to call for a just transition for the coal plant and the surrounding community, we were swiftly reminded of the power that the state has to repress free speech, and the lengths that it will go to to stop even symbolic representations of the future we want (and need) to create.

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.
