The problem is that many of those coal plants are in China. How are you going to close coal plants in China?
However, influencing your meat and dairy consumption is trivial compared to the above.

- karmakurtisaani 4y agoDoes the US debt threaten to end the life on earth? Then I'll happily join the movement that aims to bring it down by private action. I know individual action on it's own is not terribly effective. The game plan I see here is that we keep public focus on how bad meat eating is for the environment, and hopefully reach a critical mass in public opinion so that one day it is politically acceptable to reduce the dairy industry subsidies. It takes time, but it is a feasible idea.
