Trump’s Latest Attempt to Save Coal

Consumers pay more than they need to when utilities use expensive, dirty energy like coal when cheaper cleaner alternatives are available. Our Executive Director Frank Rambo talked with David Roberts on the latest episode of the Volts podcast about why this malpractice happens, what we can do to stop it even in the face of recent federal government actions, and why putting an end to uneconomic coal power is a key to encouraging the development of clean energy.

As Frank mentions, “We can win on this issue today. This is about reducing CO2 emissions and saving costs [in a way] that doesn’t require building anything. It doesn’t require a new policy, it doesn’t require new law.”
