Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has pledged $500 million in a campaign to shut down all US coal-fired power plants by 2030 and prevent natural gas from replacing them

He said he was doing this through his Beyond Carbon campaign, a project of Bloomberg Philanthropies, partnering with the Sierra Club and Earthjustice to speed up the end of coal-fired power, as well as natural gas-fired power. In a graduation speech at MIT, Bloomberg said, “Our goal is to move the US toward a 100% clean energy economy as expeditiously as possible, beginning right now.”
