Coal-fired power plants are the single largest source of man-made CO2, accounting for one quarter to one third of the world’s total.
An entire generation of obsolete
coal-fired power plants built in the 1950s and 1960s needs to be
replaced.
David Hawkins,
director of the NRDC‘s Climate
Center explains the strategic importance of choosing the right

plants
are not designed up front to capture their CO2, they will lock us into large amounts of global-warming emissions for their entire operating lifetimes." Listen (7 min)
