We urge UNC-Chapel Hill to shut down the coal-fired power plant that is on campus. Coal causes poor air quality and contributes to climate chaos.

@UsaParents we are so grateful for your continued presence on the streets to demand @UNC stop burning coal. It is their responsibility to our youth to pioneer low carbon energy. Thinking of you this Thanksgiving season!

@UNC has been very naughty this year. Continuing to pollute the air during a respiratory based pandemic being one of their offenses. #NoCoalUNC

@NoCoalUNC @UNC You don’t want coal in your stockings, so why would you want it to power UNC????

[NoCoalUNC @NoCoalUNC]

We are asking Santa for the same thing. A good first step would be shutting down the coal-fired power plant! @UNC

[UNC Reinvest @unc_reinvest]

Mask up and head out! This week's protest will be very spooky. Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls are encouraged to attend.

U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles denied @UNC bid to duck claims by the @CenterForBioDiv and the @SierraClub that it's Cogeneration Facility, burns more coal than permitted less than a mile from student dormitories. https://t.co/sL4mzrAM4n

The community wants #NoCoalUNC @KevinGuskiewicz they have been protesting every week for over a year, even in a pandemic. Why can't you hear them???

@UsaParents @UNC @MOFTriangle @350Triangle @SunriseDurham @SunriseRaleigh @NCWARN @EnergyJusticeNC @NCClim8Justice @XrDurham @SierraClubNC You are heroes! Thank you!

Expert air-quality modeling found that the existing state-issued permit allows @UNC's power plant creates levels of harmful nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide pollution that are four to six times greater than allowed under the U.S. Clean Air Act. #NoCoalUNC

[NoCoalUNC @NoCoalUNC]

@UNC's coal-burning power plant emits brain-damaging mercury and lead, as well as hydrochloric acid. The coal is from Appalachia, where mining practices poison streams critical to the survival of the Big Sandy crayfish, protected as under the Endangered Species Act.

U.S. District Court judge's ruling allows a Clean Air Act lawsuit filed by the @CenterForBioDiv and @thesierraclub to proceed to trial. The ruling follows the court’s earlier decision denying @UNC's motion to dismiss nine other claims. https://t.co/WuqAo3F2kF

[NoCoalUNC @NoCoalUNC]

@dailytarheel The federal judge now upholds all 10 cases that are alleged against @UNC for Clean Air Act violations can move forward. Press release: https://t.co/WuqAo3F2kF

[NoCoalUNC @NoCoalUNC]

This is a good sign that the judge does agree that @UNC and @KevinGuskiewicz can get away with continuing to pollute the community. It is time for the university to transition off coal.

[The Daily Tar Heel @dailytarheel]

UNC motioned to dismiss allegations that its coal plant violated the Clean Air Act. A federal district court judge refused. https://t.co/fEiP5EE1lM

[NoCoalUNC @NoCoalUNC]

Thanks to UNC @unc_reinvest for your call for greater transparency and rapid transition to clean power!

[The Daily Tar Heel @dailytarheel]

UNC Reinvest @unc_reinvest is calling for the University to fully divest from fossil fuels, close its coal-fired power plant and increase transparency about how UNC’s endowment is being invested – and then reinvest into the community in a sustainable way.
