From a friend doing research…
The EU has 468 – building 27 more… Total 495
Turkey has 56 – building 93 more…
Total 149
South Africa has 79 – building 24 more… Total 103
India has 589 – building 446 more…
Total 1035
The Philippines has 19 – building 60 more…Total 79
South Korea has 58 – building 26 more… Total of 84
Japan has 90 – building 45 more…
Total 135
China has 2,363 – building 1,171 more… Total = 3,534
That’s 5,615 projected coal-powered plants in just 8 countries.
USA has 15 – building 0 more…Total = 15
And we have clean coal technology…
The Democrat politicians with their “green new deal” want to brainwash us and shut down those 15 plants in order to “save” the planet.
I had a rough idea about the number of coal plants but had not yet seen actual numbers until now.
This makes the point. Whatever the USA does or doesn’t do won’t make a Tinker’s Damn regarding CO2 unless the rest of the world, especially China and India reduce their coal-fired power plants as well.
The whole “global warming” and “climate change” gambits by Democrats are to create a supposedly sound, scientific basis to justify a federal government power-grab and the passage of MORE laws to increase taxes and increase control of the privately-owned power industry and its distribution.
Never forget the main motivation they have!
“Oh, we will SAVE the planet!!”
*WAKE UP AMERICA (and Australia)!!!! We are being played ….. again !!!
