For more than a decade, several coastal Sierra Club Task Forces have been working to protect and preserve our finite coastal resources in L.A. and Orange County. These highly contentious projects will be coming before the California Coastal Commission from Jan. 7 – 9 in the Los Angeles area. (The exact meeting location TBA, with Santa Monica or West LA being likely locations.)
Sierra Club Task Forces need YOUR help and support!

California doubled its rooftop solar power installations last year and leads the nation as a solar power giant. These are heady times for the residential solar industry, which has spurred job growth and attracted billions of investment dollars in the state.

TPP might sound like a bathroom accessory. Instead, it stands for Trans Pacific Partnership, which is a major trade pact being negotiated in secret by the U.S. and many other Pacific Rim countries.
Sierra Club Michael Brune's message about the Keystone XL pipeline vote that came within one vote of passage in the Senate on Tuesday (it had already passed the House):
The U.S. Senate came closer than ever to approving the Keystone XL pipeline today. Just 1 vote stood between us and losing one of the most important battles yet on climate change.
Simply put, the vote came Way. Too. Close. And with the new Senate being sworn in in January, you can bet this fight is about to get even harder.
