President Urged to Hold the Line on Policies Barring U.S. Funding of Overseas Coal Plants

摘要

Eleven environmental groups Nov. 13 called on President Barack Obama to reject congressional efforts to roll back his policies designed to bar U.S. financing of overseas coal-fired power plants. The current administration "started a positive trend with phasing out financing for dirty and outdated coal projects," which were implemented at various U.S.-funded agencies including the U.S.-Export-Import Bank in 2013, according to the letter.
