| Description | As the United States and other world leaders negotiate an agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, Hillary Clinton is rolling out a plan to help revitalize the American communities that will suffer from the move away from coal.
"The 20th century energy system is not coming back -- because of the shale boom, because of low-cost renewable energy, and because of the growing imperative to combat climate change," Clinton wrote in an op-ed published Friday in Charleston Gazette-Mail, a West Virginia newspaper. "But I believe that we can forge a 21st century energy future for the United States that provides a clean and secure engine for economic growth -- without leaving out or leaving behind our coal communities."
Clinton's plan -- which will cost about $30 billion, according to her campaign -- would ensure retirees in coal communities receive the benefits they were promised and the assistance they need, improve the infrastructure and government resources in coal communities, and it would provide grants to stimulate private investment. |
