Climate change isn’t what’s driving some U.S. coal-fired power plants to shut down. Dozens of plants nationwide plan to stop burning coal this decade to comply with more stringent federal wastewater guidelines, according to state regulatory filings, as the industry continues moving away from the planet-warming fossil fuel to make electricity. The new wastewater rule requires power plants to clean coal ash and toxic heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic and selenium from plant wastewater before it is dumped into streams and rivers.

"The evidence on climate risk is compelling investors to reassess core assumptions about modern finance." The announcement, which comes as BlackRock grapples with growing global protests against its investing practices, received mixed reactions from climate activists. While the plan could transform how companies respond to the climate crisis, it's unclear the extent to which BlackRock will pursue the approach and pressure companies to become more sustainable. Many climate activists argue that BlackRock isn't doing enough to combat climate change since it continues to own oil and gas stocks, and warn that it won't be easy for the company to reform its investments. "But BlackRock will continue to be the world's largest investor in coal, oil and gas," he added.

Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesTALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Sierra Club Florida Chapter Director Frank Jackalone warned Friday that time is running short as the state faces the consequences of climate change. The Sierra Club has been a fierce critic of the toll-road projects, which were a priority of Senate President Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, during the 2019 session. Jackalone praised lawmakers for being more open to talk about climate change than in the past. Jackalone warned that by failing to adequately address climate change, money going into Everglades restoration will be wasted. "We're seeing waters rising to the point where the southern tip of the Everglades (is already) being threatened sea level rise," Jackalone said.

Climate resolutions introduced by shareholders for annual meetings of companies have risen in recent years, but the SEC's rejection of these proposals using what is called no-action letter relief have also increased under Trump administration. The lawsuit states that was the first time the SEC issued a no-action letter on the issue of greenhouse gas emission targets. What made the EOG no-action letter notable was that it marked a clear shift in the SEC staff's interpretation of greenhouse gas goals proposals. Sierra Club Senior attorney Joshua Smith said in a statement, "Trump's SEC is determined to leave the public in the dark and has ignored repeated inquiries about the status of this information." The Sierra Club alleges that the SEC, "has demonstrated a pattern and practice of failing to comply with FOIA requests by improperly using 'complex track' determinations to shield itself from complying with lawful requests, and thereby to undermine the purpose of the Act."
