Lummi Nation leaders have asked the Army Corps of Engineers to "act swiftly" to deny a coal export facility that threatens their treaty fishing rights. Will you stand with them?

Climate and clean energy debates in Olympia this year are focused on two different proposals, but only one that addresses the climate problem.

As the Washington State Legislature struggles to balance its budget, tax exemptions are rightfully receiving scrutiny.

All oils are not created equal; wind, solar, and geothermal turn Nicaragua from rolling black-outs to power exporter; Hawaii considers 100% Renewable Portfolio Standard, and more news of the week in clean energy solutions.

Solar plane begins round-the-world journey, India levies coal tariff to pay for renewables, McKibben floats ‘fossil freeze,’ and more news of the week in clean energy solutions.

Despite the growing controversy over exploding oil trains and their obvious potential for disaster, the Army Corps of Engineers intends to rubber stamp the largest oil-by-rail terminal proposed in the US using a one-size-fits-all nationwide permit.  This is unacceptable.
