According to this article in The Nation, Michael Bloomberg has donated $50 million to the Sierra Club for the purpose of taking coal plants offline and replacing them with renewable fuel sources and conservation:
Bloomberg stood in 100-degree heat on Thursday morning outside the GenOn power plant in Alexandria, Virginia.
