More Coal-Fired Plants Close In Trump's First Two Years Than In Obama's Eight

Click here for a Reuters article by Scott DiSavino entitled "President Trump can't stop U.S. coal plants from retiring."

First sentence: "More U.S. coal-fired power plants were shut in President Donald Trump’s first two years than were retired in the whole of Barack Obama’s first term..."

More:
"The number of U.S. coal plants has continued to decline every year since coal capacity peaked ... "in 2011, and is expected to keep falling as consumers demand power from cleaner and less expensive sources of energy."

"Cheap natural gas and the rising use of renewable power like solar and wind have kept electric prices relatively low for years, making it uneconomic for generators to keep investing in older coal and nuclear plants."
