No Coal No Gas Campaign

The No Coal No Gas campaign formed in 2019 as a regional coalition supported by Climate Disobedience Center, 350NH, affinity groups, and individual humans. No Coal No Gas is a direct action campaign dedicated to ending the burning of fossil fuels in New England.

Climate change and air pollution from the continued burning of fossil fuels affect everyone – but the first and worst impacts are born by people in the Global South, poor folks, Black and Indigenous communities, and People of Color. Climate change is a justice issue that demands our immediate action. With this framework in mind, No Coal No Gas works towards three goals: 1) Build unity and community, 2) Show what is possible, and 3) Shut down all fossil fuel peaker plants in New England. The campaign began this work focused on the Merrimack Generating Station in Bow, NH, which was the last coal-burning plant in New England without a shut down date. In March 2024, the owner of the plant, Granite Shore Power, announced that Merrimack would be converting to a green energy park in 2028. After this milestone, the campaign shifter its focus to all fossil fuel peaker plants in New England.
