Clean-energy backers rallied outside the Salt Lake City office of an Australian company seeking permits to build a coal-exporting terminal in Longview, Wash.
The rally against coal, outside of Ambre Energy’s North American Headquarters in [Salt Lake City], attracted about 40 protesters holding signs and chanting about coal’s environmental and health effects.
Scott Parkin, a San Francisco-based coordinator for the Rainforest Action Network, said the United States should not ship coal to China and other nations with lesser health and emissions standards.
