The Biden administration is set to back a plan that would crush the coal industry at the upcoming United Nations (UN) climate summit, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
The U.S. will reportedly support a French plan to get the countries of the world to ban private financing of coal-fired power plants during the upcoming UN conference, known as COP28, according to Reuters. The plan is likely to drive a rift between countries like the U.S. and France and those like China and India, which are reliant on coal to feed their economies cheap and reliable electricity.
The proposed plan would allow the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to set coal standards for private financing companies that would allow regulators, ratings agencies and non-governmental organizations to track coal financing, according to Reuters.

Still waiting to hear where all the service is going to come from to convert, en mass, to EV’s, electric heat and ovens. There is no plan, just road to government controlled power and serfdom.
The majority of the worldwide coal industry won’t go along with this. i.e. China and India. It’s base motive is self-flagellation.
Why hasn’t the UN been tossed out of America yet? The UN is a danger to the lives of millions of Americans living in this country. Deport the UN Turd Worlders NOW!
Too many of those in power of our government agree with the UN. They are working diligently to destroy the nation.
What you are saying is that the US is backing the communization ( is that even a word?) of the coal industry?so, in China and other communist countries nothing will change. What a stupid proposal. The other thing which should effect this is the fact that CA has decided that diesel fuel is the best, most reliable source of back up energy to solar and regularly relies on it during peak summer energy periods. This isn’t green.
Just another reason why people should NEVER vote for a democrat................sadly and to the judgement of our Nation, all the left cares about is baby killing and voting for candidates that support abortion......not much else matters to the left
Deep State pushing on with de-industrializing America as part of the WEF great reset.
And by prohibiting "private financing" they don't inconvenience China's coal burning ways.

The corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of the federal government are letting Biden get away with stealing state powers to make unconstitutional edicts as much as they let lawless Obama get away with doing the same thing in his 2nd term.
This is why Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to primary ALL state and federal incumbent lawmakers and executives up for reelection in 2024, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others?), replacing them patriot lawmakers who will support Trump to finish draining the swamp and surrender state powers that the feds have stolen from the states back to the states.
In fact, consider that probably the main reason that we hear political party and media complaints about the electoral college is that it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

Democrats [And RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
And they want to mainstream dismantling of hydroelectric dams (so long as it isn’t in the Southwest).
Incredible. These people need to experience toothlessness.
Who elected these despots? No one.
I am shocked at the number of coal fired power plants in the 4-Corners areas have been shut down. From Page AZ to Farmington NM. There are still vast areas of mineable coal in those areas but they have been locked up in quickie “National Monuments”.
They tried to shut down our plant here in the Ozarks, but it is the least cost power generated so the company added lots of new equipment to keep it running even though that new equipment was not needed before Obama.
US backing new plan to freeze to death.

When I entered the power business in ‘73 after graduating with an ME, the Four Corners area was the big hot spot. The environmentalists succeeded in getting a lot land taken out of consideration for mining. The historical controversy over coal extraction on the plateau began quietly in 1964 -with a proposal from Southern California Edison known as the Kaiparowits Power Project. Later Dutch energy company Andalex Resources planned a 10,000-acre strip mine on the plateau near the town of Kanab, Utah. Andalex intended to mine Kaiparowits coal and ship it to Japan and other countries.
Then, on September 18, 1996, Clinton stood outside announced his intention to proclaim more than 1.7 million acres of south-central Utah as the Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument. In the center of the new monument was the Kaiparowits Plateau, a 5,000 square-mile collection of mountains, mesas, and sandstone canyons.
Here we are decades later, and the area is an energy desert.
This won’t fly with the Chinese
Meanwhile China opens up new coal burning plants daily.
