This updated Low Carbon Prosperity Institute (LCPI) analysis examines the rate impacts of eliminating coal power, achieving an 80% clean energy standard by the year 2030, and a 100% clean energy standard by the year 2045. Combined with the 80% requirement in 2030, the elimination of coal power would decrease power sector emissions to approximately 40% of 1990 levels. MORE
