Out with the coal, in with the new

Abstract

This report illustrates the environmental and health benefits of a national accelerated phase-out of coal-fired electricity by 2030. Our analysis is derived from the federal government’s Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement (RIAS) made available following the development of its existing regulation for coal-fired power in 2012.
