About our Coalition

The Yellowstone-Teton Clean Energy Coalition is a 501 [c] [3] non-profit that has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program, comprised of some 90 coalitions around the U.S..  Clean Cities' mission is to displace the use of petroleum in the USA’s transportation sector.  This is done by advocating the use of alternative fuels, encouraging new technologies such as hybrid & electric vehicles, and promoting idle reduction practices for all vehicles.  The program will also result in cleaner air through reduced exhaust emissions and improve USA energy security by reducing dependence on imported crude oil.

Clean Cities coalitions are able to access up-to-date information and training, grant opportunities for projects/infrastructure, technical assistance and to network with each other. 

The Yellowstone-Teton Clean Energy Coalition is the most rural of the nation’s 90-some coalitions, encompassing large areas of three sparsely-populated states—Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The area was chosen as a coalition because of the high profile of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and the opportunity to share the Clean Cities message with five million or more visitors annually. Yellowstone National Park is a pioneer in the use of alternative fuels—especially biodiesel—and is a prime source of education about renewable fuel, hybrid vehicles and mass transit.

The coalition is comprised of "stakeholders"—individuals, businesses, fleets, elected bodies, boards and others who share the vision of an America with clear skies and totally independent in its energy resources, including crude oil. The stakeholders support the coalition’s work through participation and financial contributions.
 

The ultimate purpose of our work is bridging the gap between burning petroleum in our vehicles, polluting the atmosphere, and the energy future we must soon secure for a safer, more healthy planet. To support the life we cherish—a life less vulnerable to climate extremes and international instability—we must escape the competition for non-renewable fueling resources.
