Secretary of State John Kerry told a Paris audience that “our coal-fired power plants have to begin to phase out.”

At an event hosted by tech site Mashable along with the U.N. Foundation on Monday,  Kerry said, “President Obama has put in place one of the most ambitious national climate action plans in the world. We’ve doubled our car efficiency and truck – we’re requiring our coal-fired power plants have to begin to phase out.”

Kerry made the statements while discussing the impact the private sector and the marketplace will have on carbon emissions.
