The world’s seven largest advanced economies agreed on Friday to stop international financing of coal projects that emit carbon by the end of this year, and phase out such support for all fossil fuels.

The presumption that there is anything wrong with carbon dioxide is a lie, but it keeps getting told over and over and over, because the agenda of the liberal fascists depends on people accepting it.

While I strongly disagree with the actions against oil/push to electric cars, coal needs to die. Besides the fact that clean coal tech is NOT competitive at all against even something like Nuclear, Coal plants have major health concerns for people living anywhere near them. It had it's purpose, but with current gen technology, it's time to move on

Coal is an essential energy source. The people against its use need to die. If you can convince the Chinese and dot-Indians not to use coal, then I may consider .... no, what am I saying, coal is a great energy source and we need more of it.

You do realize that coal plants produce more radiation than even a Gen 1 nuclear plant? And the left over ash is one of the most toxic things to come out of any industrial process? The cons far outweigh the pros in terms of coal power

Switch to thorium reactors, coal is terrible for air quality, so are fossil fuels, the electricity generation tech is there but the engineering research is not.

Per capita energy usage should always be increasing, it's the sign of a growing civilization, but the methods we use to generate them must do the least harm.
