Quote

"The city of Oakland took an important step recently documenting the health and safety risks and climate impacts of coal and specifically banning its shipment through the city. Other localities should follow suit -- and the state should too -- to reduce and, ultimately, eliminate the shipment of coal through all California ports." - Gov. Jerry Brown, August 26, 2016
