How many coal plants are there in the world today? You know, the ones that the Green New Deal will save us from?
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
Philippines has 19 - building 60 more... Total 79
South Korea has 58 - building 26 more... Total 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.
But what about the evil USA? We have 241, with no plans to build any more...Total 241
And Democrat politicians with their "green new deal” want to shut down those 15 plants in order to "save” the planet.
This is EXCELLENT!! I knew the 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, reduces 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 increased control of the privately owned power industry and its distribution. Never forget the main motivation they have!

It's ALWAYS about money and power. Always.
“Oh, we will SAVE the planet!!” 100% Pure Bull

But, follow the science!
Where does our power come from if we only have 15 coal plants?
Ed - exactly.
rjthom5 - good question. I just looked it up, and we have 241 coal-fired power plants. That's what I get for letting a guest contributor send me a post without researching the thing myself. My apologies for the incorrect figure.
Still way too low to worry about in the face of the rest of the world.
Agreed.
