Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg wants to retire all remaining coal-fired electricity plants in the next decade and “immediately” stop the construction of new gas facilities to cut U.S. emissions in half by 2030.
His campaign said he’s still developing a cost estimate for his climate plan as well as figuring out where to find the revenue for it. It’s the second policy plan he’s rolled out this week without a price tag or a plan to pay for it.
