"The United Kingdom will now join the United States and a growing number of other countries and international financial institutions in ending public financing for new coal-fired power plants overseas, except in rare cases where no alternatives are available. In June 2013, President Obama made ending public financing for new international coal plants a key component of his Climate Action Plan. Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden joined the U.S. in September 2013 to end their own public financing of new coal plants as well." (Quoted from article)
