France is joining the list of countries that are ditching coal power. Speaking at the United Nations COPP22 climate-change conference, President François Hollande announced that France will shut down all of its coal-fired power plants by 2023. Last week, the U.K. said the same thing, although its planned end date is two years later, in 2015.
