Campaign says has helped retire 15 percent of coal capacity

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Sierra Club, an environmental group, said Friday they were halfway to their goal of getting one-third of coal-fired power plants retired by 2015 through a variety of civic actions.

Bloomberg gave the Sierra Club $50 million in 2011 to launch the “Beyond Coal” campaign, which set a goal to preside over the retirement 105,000 megawatts of coal-fired power in four years and encourage a shift toward renewable energy.
