EcoWatch: As my colleague Mary Anne Hitt noted in her highlights of 2014 column weve had some significant victories in the fight against the destruction of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia over the past year.

In a study published in the journal Nature, University College London researchers say that 82 per cent of the world's coal, half its gas reserves and a third of its oil must remain in the ground if global temperature increases are to be kept within 2 degrees of pre-industrial levels. ...

A final rule was due by law on Jan. 8, a year after it was first proposed. But the Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday it would wait until midsummer, and issue the new power plant rules with a separate regulation...
