Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg on Friday unveiled a broad plan to eliminate all coal power plants and slow the expansion of the natural gas sector as part of a policy to fight climate change that he says would cut carbon emissions across the U.S. economy by 50% over the first 10 years.
The New York billionaire, who has devoted significant time and money toward fighting climate change in recent years, said the new plan is the first of several that would ultimately move the nation toward phasing out fossil fuels completely “as soon as humanly possible” — ideally before 2050.
Bloomberg's specific goals include:
-Closing the nation's remaining 251 coal power plants with clean energy by 2030. He says he'll release another plan in the coming weeks that outlines a policy to help communities impacted by the closures.
-Stop the “rush” to build new gas plants by imposing strict new emissions and health protections, although Bloomberg's team did not immediately respond to questions about how his policy would specifically impact energy companies' plans to create 150 new gas plants in the coming years.
