When you re organizing for change, an important principle is that you should always be trying to organize yourself out of a position. During my time as a Beyond Coal organizer with the Sierra Club in Georgia, we got my utility company, Cobb Electric Membership Corporation, to cancel plans to build two new coal-fired power plants. We worked to elect new leadership to the cooperative and turn the utility into a solar energy leader. After that, I realized it was time to move on.
