Bloomberg Philanthropies is investing an additional $30 million with the Sierra Club to secure the
retirement of half of the nation’s coal fleet by 2017. The Sierra Club is currently on schedule to meet this
goal — 187 plants have already announced their retirement as of April 2015. The initiative, now totaling $80
million, is one of the most effective campaigns to cut carbon emissions in history. It will help the United
States speed up the growing shift seen among communities, ratepayers, investors, utilities, and state and
local governments to move away from expensive, outdated power plants and towards clean energy solutions.
