U.S. Says It Won’t Back New International Coal-Fired Power Plants
The Obama administration acted aggressively to impose its environmental policies in coal projects financed by the World Bank and others.
"It is unclear how much impact the new policy will have. The United
States does not have a veto over which projects in other countries get
financed through organizations, and the number of coal plants built
overseas with public money is small relative to the number that are
likely to be built with private investment.
By leading a coalition of like-minded countries — including several
European ones that have already announced similar intentions — officials
said the administration would be able to influence the direction of
power plant construction."
This is a start on implementing a proper policy on fossil carbon.
