Plans for 150 New Coal Plants Scrapped – Transition to Clean Energy Picks Up Steam

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–February 4, 2011.  Purdue University has cancelled plans for a new campus coal plant, making the plant the 150th to be defeated or abandoned since the beginning of the coal rush in 2001. Thanks in part to the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign, in the last two years no new coal plants have started construction and the industry has announced the phase out of over 50 plants.
