States Repurpose Old Coal Plants Into Clean Energy Plants

Several U.S. states are repurposing closed-down coal plants into solar plants and wind farms. Among the states that have made the transition include Illinois, which is currently leading the pack. Nine coal plants will become solar farms or battery storage facilities, according to The New York Times. Across the U.S., several states have adopted the same model, of using old coal plants to generate clean energy.
