That’s 5,615
projected coal powered plants in just 8 countries.
USA has 15 - building 0 more…Total 15 And Democrat politicians with their "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 coalfired 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! “Oh, we will SAVE the planet!!” 100% Pure Bull Worldwide https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants
