Outcry from the Gorebal Warmers in 5…4…3…
Who am I kidding.
The Left know the manmade climate change agenda is just a bullshit scam to attack Western Civilization. They’ll never protest against their ChiCom masters.

China Aims to Spend at Least $360 Billion on Renewable Energy by 2020

China intends to spend more than $360 billion through 2020 on renewable power sources like solar and wind, the government’s energy agency said on Thursday.

The country’s National Energy Administration laid out a plan to dominate one of the world’s fastest-growing industries, just at a time when the United States is set to take the opposite tack as Donald J. Trump, a climate-change doubter, prepares to assume the presidency.

The agency said in a statement that China would create more than 13 million jobs in the renewable energy sector by 2020, curb the growth of greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming and reduce the amount of soot that in recent days has blanketed Beijing and other Chinese cities in a noxious cloud of smog.

China surpassed the United States a decade ago as the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses, and now discharges about twice as much. For years, its oil and coal industries prospered under powerful political patrons and the growth-above-anything mantra of the ruling Communist Party.

China’s announcement was a bold claim on leadership in the renewable energy industry, where Chinese companies are already among the world’s dominant players.

2017 China Electric Car Sales Blow World Out Of The Water — BAIC EC-Series Is A Superstar

The rise and rise of the Chinese plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market is unstoppable, with yet another record performance in December. A total of 102,000 new passenger PEVs were registered last month, up 130% year over year. Yes, that was just December, and it pulled the year-to-date count to over 600,000 units, up 71% compared to 2016.

As consequence of this rapid growth, in December, the PEV share hit a record 3.3% market share of the entire Chinese auto market, while the entire 2017 PEV market share ended at 2.1%. That’s firmly ahead of last year’s score (1.5%) and above the USA (1.2%) and Europe (~1.9%).

The Chinese PEV market represented roughly half of the 1.2 million plug-ins sold worldwide in 2017, while Chinese carmakers made 47% of all PEVs sold last year.

This is really nothing...2.3% of annual consumption...per 2016...which is probably even less of a drop today.

However.... China can still ride that 'developing nation' train all while polluting the most of any nation.

Thanks for your input comrade but the facts don't add up.

I mean...we can shit in one hand and wish in the other, but China is going BIG COAL at full speed.

Coal remains at the heart of China’s flourishing economy. In 2019, 58 percent of the country’s total energy consumption came from coal, which helps explain why China accounts for 28 percent of all global CO2 emissions. And China continues to build coal-fired power plants at a rate that outpaces the rest of the world combined. In 2020, China brought 38.4 gigawatts of new coal-fired power into operation, more than three times what was brought on line everywhere else.

Despite Pledges to Cut Emissions, China Goes on a Coal Spree

China is building large numbers of coal-fired power plants to drive its post-pandemic economy. The government has promised a CO2 emissions peak by 2030, but the new coal binge jeopardizes both China’s decarbonization plans and global efforts to tackle climate change.

American coal mining has been declining steadily since 1950. Do you want to nationalize the coal industry in the US? We can prop it up, you know. Maybe we could subsidize whale oil and buggy whips too.

You forget the KNOWN Coal reserves data?

China needs all that coal to generate electricity for their clean electric cars.

Sigh, you manage to miss where I didn't dispute the coal use decline at all how did you do that?

All I was pointing out the freaking obvious it wasn't for lack of Coal America still has in the ground but something else caused the decline.

I posted the evidence that America leads the world in proven reserves of Coal you didn't dispute it so why did you come back with a repeat of your other post I didn't dispute?

Protesting would do what?

Do you want to nationalize the coal industry in the US?

Why do you keep asking me stupid questions? I am not a leftist. I don't want to nationalize anything.

Forcing? You are misinformed. Our coal fired power plants are 30-40 years old. There are no investors who will invest in new coal plants. Would you?

That's not it. It's government regulation.

There are very good reasons for that.

What problem do we have exactly with requirements that would no longer allow plants to pump their waste into the rivers?

Didn't we have this discussion not long ago? Without regulations we would have little care but those who create waste from pumping it just anywhere.

Can you find for me where any conservative has said ALL pollution controls must be eliminated?

No?

Then stop pretending they have.

Meawnhile, Obama's EPA directly caused the 2015 Gold King Mine toxic wastewater spill...and has refused to compensate anyone affected by it.

So perhaps they should clean their own messes before they demand anyone else should.

I am not here to defend Obama so I have no idea why you would bring him up.

Get the crap out of your waste or close down if you can't.
