"More than 1,000 New Coal Plants Planned Worldwide"
It seems a bit of a folly that America is trying to do away with coal plants while the rest of the world is moving full speed ahead.
That means Americans will be burdened with higher cost alternatives as other countries burn cheaper coal for their energy...
ClimateCentral.org is calling attention to Damian Carrington's posted article at the U.K. Guardian"s website:
"The huge planned expansion comes despite warnings from politicians, scientists, and campaigners that the planet's fast-rising carbon emissions must peak within a few years if runaway climate change is to be avoided and that fossil fuel assets risk becoming worthless if international action on global warming moves forward."
