Follow the Coal Money is an interactive tool that tracks the flow and influence of coal money in US politics, throughout all political parties. Click on one of the search tools on the right to find out which companies are heaping their dirty coal money into politics, and which lawmakers are receiving it. As Congress debates how to address two of coal's biggest problems -- mountaintop removal and global warming -- you can find out how polluters are influencing lawmakers with their dirty coal money.

After you have explored our tool, be sure to Take Action! We will add new features and data regularly, so check back soon and often.
