Kerry presses China to declare moratorium on financing coal projects

John Kerry, President Biden’s special envoy for climate, is reportedly looking to push China to issue a moratorium on financing coal projects during a trip to the country next week.

The Wall Street Journal reported the plans, citing people familiar with the matter, one of whom said that U.S. officials are looking for China to declare a formal pause as Beijing has yet to fund any new foreign coal plants or investments this year.

2021 is the first year Beijing has not launched new funding for foreign coal projects since 2013, when it launched its Belt and Road Initiative focused on developing global infrastructure to connect East Asia in new ways to areas in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

Kerry is an idiot.
China will do what is best for China while Democrats and Assistant Democrat destroy the USA over an imaginary problem.

We should be opening and upgrading coal plants.

We’re gonna need more power generation to cope with all those idiotic EVs because unlike pure ICE or hybrids they do not offer the ability of power to scale to need no matter the time and place.

Yeah, right. As if China will listen to him. He’s just trying to give the illusion that he’s doing something, that he’s relevant.

Poor Kerry, all alone in his gilded private jet, trying to imagine he’s relevant.

The ironic point is China in a few posts up says they discovered a huge shale oil field!
