Sierra Club defeated 26 proposed coal plants in 2009, totaling 111 defeats since their work began in 2002. This report details their efforts to stop proposed mountaintop mining, implement stronger public health and environmental regulations, and retire aging coal plants through advocacy and legislation.

The Future of Coal: Options for a Carbon-Constrained World is an interdisciplinary study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that examines the role of coal in a world where constraints on carbon emissions are adopted to mitigate global warming. This study's particular emphasis is to compare the performance and cost of different coal combustion technologies when combined with an integrated system for CO2 capture and sequestration. (2007)
