Beyond the climate harms of fossil fuels, they also impose a terrible toll on human health, as numerous recent studies show—including the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change , a BMJ study on global deaths from airpollution caused by fossil fuels, and a study on US deaths attributable to coal-fired electricity generation.
Regulation may have made a difference, since coal requires more extensive pollution controls than competing fuels. Since around 2008, naturalgas use has been the mirror image of coal use. Gas had long been more expensive and more volatile in price than coal. But this could only have a contributing factor.
