(CANADA FREE PRESS) – As we rush toward the impossible zero electric power emissions by 2030, our coal burn is rebounding to an estimated 600 million tons a year. Speaking of trillions, that is 1.2 trillion pounds of coal, reports David Wojick.
Besides this, coal producers are actively pursuing 2.2 billion tons per annum of new mine projects around the world, a growth of 30 percent from current production levels.
Five Asian countries are jeopardizing climate ambitions by investing in 80% of the world’s planned new coal plants. Why are they knocking back all the cheap solar and wind power? Could it be that China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam are filled with stupid people who can’t add up. Or is it that they can do the sums and they noticed that every nation with renewables also has expensive electricity, asks Julian Ambrose.
