A new study gives US utilities a failing grade for climate action, with the utilities examined scoring just 7 out of 100. Researchers found coal retirements are slowing, plans for new gas capacity are rising, and utilities' climate commitments are backsliding overall. The findings suggest the US power sector is moving away from, rather than toward, its emissions-reduction targets.
Why now: A stark new scorecard shows US utilities abandoning coal retirement and clean-energy commitments amid rising gas investment.
