Study: Wind, solar could replace 75 percent of coal power
Local solar and wind projects could provide three-fourths of the power provided by coal plants, and for less money, a study by two clean energy groups found, Energy News Network reported. By 2025, the share of “at risk” coal generation will jump from 74 percent to 86 percent, the Energy Innovation Policy & Technology in San Francisco and Boulder, Colo.-based Vibrant Clean Energy reported. “We’re not talking about replacing every coal plant overnight,” said report co-author Eric Gimon at Energy Innovation. “What we’re saying is every coal plant should be looked at.”
