Katharine Hayhoe: It’s because we had already gotten rid of so much of ours before 2014. This just shows progress over the last decade.

Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity. As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog. So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now? Greece and the UK lead the way! Source: www.wri.org/insights/cou...

Im glad Ontario phased it out 10 years ago but annoyed that Canada isn't on the top 10 list. Are the remaining provinces laggards?

And some of the more Provincial actions (Alberta going from 80% in 2014 to 0% now in 2024) get hidden in the country average. Which is not a criticism of the list, just interesting to see there are some big moves in other places too at a sub national level!

Ahh. I didn't realize other provinces had made that much progress. This is great news. Thanks :)
