U.S. ends support for overseas projects featuring coal power plants
Quote from article:
As first reported by Bloomberg White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs, the Biden administration has ordered an immediate halt to funding projects that feature a coal-burning power plant. In a message sent out to embassies and State Department facilities around the world last week, Biden made it clear that a major policy shift is underway.
“Our international energy engagement will center on promoting clean energy, advancing innovative technologies, boosting U.S. clean-tech competitiveness and providing financing and technical assistance to support net-zero transitions around the world,” reports Bloomberg.

This article also contains some interesting statistics on how the use of power from coal-fired plants has significantly declined in recent years, and how the use of clean energy has rapidly increased.
