Moving America Beyond Coal

TODAY

Bloomberg Philanthropies has invested $80 million with the Sierra Club to secure the retirement of half of the nation’s coal fleet by the end of 2017. The Sierra Club is currently on schedule to meet this goal and continues to make progress despite politics in Washington. The initiative 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seen among communities, ratepayers, investors, utilities, and state and local governments to move away from expensive, outdated power plants and towards clean energy solutions.
