The phasedown of coal for electricity generation is considered vital to meeting global climate targets. Many countries … have pledged to stop using coal, with some as early as 2030. While the United States has no target currently in place …, several states do. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of phasing down U.S. coal-generated electricity given the …
