Coal power = 20k miles of pollution?

Since I'm moving I just changed my power to wind power from coal... but one one of the energy websites I read said that coal power emits as much pollution for every 1,000 kw's (about 1 month of electricity) as driving 20,000 miles in one's car.

Does that sound accurate to anyone? or did I misread and maybe they meant 1 year of of coal power = driving 20k miles?

Thanks!
