In order to stop using the electricity that these coal plants provide, we'll have to figure out how to cut 57% of the electricity we're using now. Light bulbs are only going to do about 5%, at most.

I really think these kinds of cartoons are irresponsible because it deludes people into believing particular solutions exist, when they just don't. We won't be off coal for a long time. Making it cleaner in the short term is doable, and will help. There's no reason not to do that, AND move to solar and wind at the same time.
