50 coal power plants in US shut under Trump
Fifty coal-fired power plants have shut in the United States since President Donald Trump came to office two years ago, an environmental organization said on Thursday.
The Sierra Club counted 50 closures, along with 51 announcements of closure, since Trump was sworn into office in January 2017.
The numbers are distinct because it sometimes takes years between an announcement and the actual shuttering.
This week, the operators of two coal plants, one in Florida and the other in Utah, announced they would shut their doors within the next few years.
