Sierra Club Urges Us to Move Past Natural Gas, Fracking

Natural Gas: The Sierra Club opposes new electric generating units powered by natural gas, including peaking and combined cycle units.  Consistent with the Board’s goal of eliminating all fossil fuels from the electric sector no later than 2030, it is critical that the US avoid further high-capital investments in new natural gas plants and related infrastructure. 

The Sierra Club opposes the use of hydraulic fracturing (fracking).To limit the damage from fracking until it can be ended entirely, the Club calls for prompt closure of loopholes that effectively exempt fracking from important aspects of major national environmental laws.
