Energy: The resident wants to decarbonize the planet by killing fossil-fuel production and its high-paying jobs. Almost no other nation is following his lead despite the promises that will be made at the Paris climate summit.
Last week we learned in a Reuters report that Asia will build 500 coal-burning electric generation plants this year alone. An additional 1,000 are planned in China, India, Japan, Indonesia and other countries. The latest projections are that 40% of the added power generation in Southeast Asia by 2040 will be coal-fired.
Does this sound like a continent that's taking the alarm bells of catastrophic global warming seriously? So America shuts down its coal plants, while the rest of the world builds them.
If that isn't bad enough news for the climate change lobby, the Times of London reports the world can "nearly double the available supplies of oil and gas in the next 35 years." And oil giant BP has issued a report that concludes: "This impending glut of hydrocarbons has demolished fears that the world is running out of oil."
...
When the Paris meetings end, expect happy talk from the leaders of the world that nations have made iron-clad commitments to move away from fossil fuels.
Alas, the only person on the planet who's still naive enough to believe the fantasy is Barack Obama.
And he calls us deniers

Why would anyone want to follow an idiot man-child? His Chicken-Little act may suit him, but he's wrong on substance as he always is.
By definition, he is not leading if nobody is following.
Climate Change is called WEATHER....and we don’t change weather...this is b.s. only being pushed by obuma and his ilk...
Another control of the commie government....
No one follows?
Would that it were true in the good ol’ USA.
Keep jobs. Keep clean coal (yes there is clean coal).
The power Obama is concerned about is not electrical but POLITICAL.
True - he is trying to make America the lemmings of the world and this is one instance where the rest of the Nations balk at the cliff edge...
(the Sun's magnetic field is declining so less sunspots are formed)
At least this is one area where his ineffectiveness as a leader does more good than harm.
With posts like yours, it makes me wish FR had a like button! :)
Let’s be honest, Obama is mentally ill and many around the world recognize it. Some European leaders do not, but they
are deranged themselves.
Looks folks....get real....Obama is no more then the biggest “LAME DUCK” POTUS, in the history of the USA!!! Th only one person that loves him is himself!!!
so we are all aware of what is happening to US produced coal.
forgive my ignorance, but where else does coal come from? south america? asia? russia?
i just don’t know, but I think I need to start following this...
I have been predicting for some time that the Post-Whitehouse version of Obama will be as the replacement for Al Gore as President of the Worldwide Climate Change Scam. He will be the Climate Change Leader Numero Uno.
I’m not sure exactly how that will work but it will pay him hundreds of millions of dollars over the years. What we are seeing now is simply Obama adding to his Climate Change Scam Resume.

Jul 29, 2002 - The Utah Coal Lockup: A trillion dollar Lippo payoff? ... That coal was low-sulfur coal with a fairly high BTU rating, and would have been .... This is a follow-up on the move by President Clinton to declare millions of acres .... Order which has declared the coal on the new Utah national park off-limits to mining.
No Congressional restraint.
Obama leads my ass... the POS couldn’t find the end of a one-way road pointed in the right direction with a map.
More time to read by candlelight, snuggle up with my honey on cold nights with multiple blankets and during the summer keeping all the windows open instead of cooling AC, so the bugs, flies and other varmints of the world can creep in, taking cold showers...
First world to turd world in one generation...
***The Utah Coal Lockup: A trillion dollar Lippo payoff?***
There is so much coal locked up there in Southern Utah two power plants were scheduled, now canceled, to be built just to burn it, thirty years ago.
In some parts of the west it is easier to build a multi-million dollar plant near the mine than to ship the coal to other regions of the country.
Other plants were scheduled to be built on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico forty years ago but they also have been canceled.
The coal is still there waiting, waiting.
