| New York intends to end all coal-fired power by 2020. |
New York’s Governor, Andrew Cuomo, made the announcement last week, calling coal “a relic of the past”.
The move forms part of Governor Cuomo’s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the state by 40 percent by 2030. It also follows through on a pledge he made in 2016 to restrict coal use across the state.
