BACKGROUND: Los Angeles gets a disappointingly high 44% of its power from coal-fired power plants

located in Arizona and Utah, which are among the worst stationary sources of pollution

in the United States. Coal-fired power plants are poisoning the people that live near

them by polluting the air and water. Pollution from coal-fired power plants is also a

major contributor to the catastrophic climate change which causes problems (including

wildfires and drought) that directly affect families in Los Angeles.
