Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Wednesday he will release $500 million into the next phase of his energy transition campaign, aiming to shut down “every last” coal plant in the United States and slash gas-fired capacity in half by 2030, according to a published report by Reuters.
The $500 million infusion into his decade-long Beyond Carbon initiative aims to “finish the job on coal” by working with state and local organizations to force the closure of the roughly 150 coal plants that have not yet retired, slash current gas generation in half and block the construction of new gas-fired plants.
