Our interactive map shows the best places for states, communities, farmers and entrepreneurs to harvest homegrown, renewable energy.

Coal is Dirty and Dangerous
Coal is America's dirtiest energy source -- and the country's leading source of global warming pollution. Efficiency and renewables are better options for repowering America.

Across the Appalachians, companies are blowing entire mountaintops to smithereens to get at the thin coal seams below, harming communities and the environment.

Stop Dirty Fuels
Looking for fuel in all the wrong places puts our wildlands, air, water and climate at risk.
