Transportation just passed power generation as the major polluter in 2016. Mainly because of the switch from coal to natural gas. If coal comes back on line expect the positions to switch again rapidly. I agree with your statement but getting rid of coal power plants would have the added benefit of reducing the production of coal ash, a source of particulate matter and heavy metal pollution. Both would be major living standard improvement. https://www.vox.com/2016/6/13/11911798/emissions-electricity-versus-transportation https://www.vox.com/2016/6/13/11911798/emissions-electricity...
