Climate czar, John Kerry, Old Horseface, announced Saturday that the United States has “proudly” committed not to build any new coal plants and to get rid of existing ones entirely. The administration is targeting 2035 as the end date.
“To meet our goal of 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035, we need to phase out unabated coal,” Mr. Kerry said in a Dec. 2 statement, in which he announced that the United States had officially joined a coalition of 56 other countries who all plan to ditch coal in the name of climate change.
“We will be working to accelerate unabated coal phase-out across the world, building stronger economies and more resilient communities,” Mr. Kerry said in his statement.
“The first step is to stop making the problem worse: stop building new unabated coal power plants.”

- Coal is found in 38 states, under 458,600 square miles or about 13 percent of the nation’s land area.
