This is a huge deal) but it's part of a cluster of developments in just one week regarding coal. Jame Hansen, NASA’s top climatologist, called for a moratorium on new conventional coal-fired plants; Texas Lawmaker “Doc” Anderson (R-Waco) introduced legislation calling for a moratorium on permits for new coal-fired power plants. And a UN panel also concluded that no more conventional coal plants should be built. Finally, state regulators told Duke Energy to scale back iplans to build 1600 new megawatts of coal-fired capacity near Charlotte, N.C. Good news, eh?
