There is a huge surge in coal mining and the number of coal fired power plants in the guise of meeting electricity demands and development for the country. (greenpeace.org)
My personal opinion is that the only practical path to reducing these emissions from coal fired power plants significantly is for us (you and me) to use a lot less electricity. (builditsolar.com)
But your comment does highlight an important point: it isn't enough to stop coal fired power plants if you don't at the same time stop the coal mines. (planet3.org)
