Overview
This grant is to support the work of Climate Solutions as both a grantee and as a re-granter. It goal is to prevent rail and deep water port infrastructure that would allow Powder Basin coal to be exported from the United States to fast growing economies like China and India. THe work will engage rail and port communities that would be impacted by such infrastructure into this coalition of NGOs. Finally, it would work to insure that any progress made in moving beyond coal in the U.S. by shutting down US coal generation is not undermined by instead exporting this same coal to supply global markets.
