How many coal plants are there in the world today?
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 new coal powered plants in just 8 countries.
What about the US?
The USA has 15 - and is building 0 more...Total 15
And the "green new deal” want to shut down those 15 plants in order to "save” the planet.
This makes the point. Whatever the USA does or doesn’t do won’t make a Tinker’s Dam regarding CO2 unless the rest of the world, especially China and India reduces
coal-fired power plants as well.
