註釋Energy companies have proposed building a fleet of new coal-fired power plants across America. As of June 2006, power producers have approximately 150 new coal-fired plants on the drawing board, including two in Michigan, representing a $1.37 billion investment and the capacity to supply power to 96 million homes. If energy companies succeed in building even a fraction of these new power plants, it would have major impacts on America's environment and economy. Further, this "coal rush" would consume investment dollars that could otherwise promote more sustainable energy sources.
