Our team arrived in Topeka to educate citizens and the state Legislature about energy policy prior to an important state Senate vote on clean coal. We drove the clean coal van around the capitol and talked to groups entering into the Senate chamber as well as people who were visiting the capitol building — about 60 people in all.

We even outfitted some of our newfound supporters with “clean coal” t-shirts.

Following our activities, the Senate approved the clean coal bill 33-7.

The state House is set to vote on the legislation next week, so we’ll be sure to stay active.
