What it looks like on the ground 
If anybody cared, they would ban import of all Chinese goods until they clean up their coal plants. It winds up in my air here in AK.
So much for our Climate Change idiots and all their stupid efforts to make the U.S. a second rate Nation.
Do Greta Thunberg, Al Gore ,,Etc, ever criticize China for their use of fossil fuels?
I don’t follow this subject on a regular basis, but it occurs to me, that our reductions in emissions are being canceled out by increases in places such as China. Yet it seems like we don’t hear much from environmental leaders about that.
the clock keeps ticking. Don’t we have only about 8 or 9 years left at this point? Maybe Greta will reset our clock?
Coal, being a very high percentage of nearly pure carbon, is one of the most compact oxygen-combustion fuels around. When coal is subjected to being baked in a retort, driving off virtually all the volatiles the exist in coal in nature, it then becomes coke, and when coke is heated to about 1,000 degrees or so, and misted with water, the water breaks down into hydrogen, and the oxygen in the water forms carbon monoxide, both excellent fuels in the gaseous state, commonly called “syngas”. Both generate much more heat than simply burning the carbon, and the outcomes are restoration of the original water molecules used in the generation of syngas, and the production of carbon dioxide, a most excellent and highly important plant food, not a pollutant at all.
Our local climate idiots always ignore the coal burning truth of China and India. If they acknowledge this, their heads would explode. But this is just the brainless dupes that our universities churn out.
Reality is that the greenie climate scam is MONEY based. There are trillions to be made in pimping renewable bs like solar and wind. There is one trillion in green BS hand outs in the Biden “Anti-Inflation Bill”. There are loads of trough feeders lining up to participate.
IOW you get taxed to support the ruination of America via the PTB pimping climate fears. But follow the money on this. The money flow from the Feds to connected Democrats is the real truth.
China, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Zimbabwe give Biden the finger.
The United States has by far the largest known coal reserves of any country in the world. Villainizing coal has been a direct attack against the United States and our way of life. Coal is safe, cheap and easy to transport. Think about it. Does it create an ecological disaster when a ship carrying coal runs aground, or a train carrying coal derails?
“Stampede”? What the ‘Ell is wrong with you?
Coal is a baseload power supply (and source of organics) that CAN BE remarkably clean — much better on balance than the recycling aspects of solar cells.
They are being reasonable. Even for commies.

BlackRock and Vanguard shun the U.S. coal industry yet invest billions in a Chinese company whose name is literally “China Coal Energy Company,” without saying a peep about ESG over there.
The hypocrisy is staggering. Or perhaps it’s not hypocrisy, just hierarchy. #WSJFUTURE
