Coal Moves Closer to Death

Here's what Kentucky and other Big-Coal-cocksucking states don't understand: coal's fate is not determined by what happens where it's mined. It's determined by what happens where it's burned.

And those places want nothing to do with it any more.

From Maddowblog:

Attention fans of coal, singing or otherwise: here's an important announcement by the city of Los Angeles:

...commissioners at the Department of Water and Power moved forward with plans to dump the utility's interest in a coal-burning plant in Arizona and convert another one in Utah to natural gas. The plants provide nearly 40% of the city's energy.

The changes, coupled with new commitments to renewable power, would make the city coal-free by 2025, utility officials said.
