Beginning around the year 2000, in response to increases in natural gas prices, utilities across the United States began a renewed push to build new coal-fired electricity generating plants. By the spring of 2007, approximately 150 such projects were either under construction or in various stages of planning. The National Energy Technology Laboratory, a division of the Department of Energy, maintained a database of such projects, but ceased providing project-specific information as of May 2007.
Since that report, scores of coal-fired power plants have been cancelled, but new proposals have appeared. The Sierra Club continues to maintain a database of proposed coal projects that can be sorted by state or by project status.

(Note: There are no proposed coal plants in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont.)
