The article “China Curbs Plants For More Coal-Fired Power Plants” By Michael Forsythe that was published on April 25, 2016 is about how the people are using masks to cover themselves from the air pollution that the coal fired power plants are causing. There are more that is being under construction and they are predicting that it will be done by 2018. China is the largest consumer of energy from coal and they are continuing to build more coal fired plants and the coal consumption there are not allowing it. This project is causing climate change and air pollution which the people constructing it don’t care.
