Within the next decade, more than $200 billion has been projected to be invested in new coal fired power plants, oil refineries, and pipelines. Once built, emissions from these projects will completely negate any emissions reductions made through efficiency and clean energy.
Bank of America, Citi, and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) are leading financiers of these dirty deals—securing investments of billions of dollars every year for dirty energy projects.
