G7 Countries Including United States Reach Agreement to Shut Down All Coal-Fired Power Plants by 2035
Democrat Climate Change Cult: Ban Everything!
Ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) nations have agreed to eliminate all coal-fired power plants by 2035.
The countries that are members of the Group of Seven (G7) are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as the European Union.
This declaration was made by Andrew Bowie, a UK minister at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, during an interview in Turing, Italy.
“We do have an agreement to phase out coal in the first half of the 2030s,” Bowie said.
“This is, by the way, a historic agreement, something that we weren’t able to achieve at COP28 in Dubai last year.”
“So, to have the G7 nations come around the table to send that signal to the world -- that we, the advanced economies of the world are committed to phasing out coal by the early 2030s – is quite incredible,” he added.
Business Standard reported:
Italian diplomatic sources said a technical deal had been reached.
The accord will be included in the G7 energy ministers’ final communique to be released on Tuesday at the end of a two-day meeting in Turin.
One source told Reuters earlier that diplomats from the G7 nations -- Italy, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and Japan – discussed the issue until late on Sunday, before the start of the ministerial gathering.
The agreement marks a significant step in the direction indicated last year by the COP28 United Nations climate summit for a transition away from fossil fuels, of which coal is the most polluting.
It helps accelerate the shift of investments from coal to clean technology in particular in Japan and more broadly in the whole Asian coal economy, including China and India,” Luca Bergamaschi, co-founding member of Italian climate change think-tank ECCO, said on X.

I had a funny talk with a relative recently during a dinner. He is a big climate hoax enabler and he was saying how he saw a news that showed Chinese dumping all their petrol cars in the dump because they have outlawed petrol cars. Its quite something else watching people fall so totally for fake news.
The globalists want to halt manufacturing everywhere with climate change bullshit so you will have to buy from their slave-labor bitches in China.
China, of course, gets exempt.

China approves dozens of coal plants: The largest-emitting country on the planet sanctioned 114 gigawatts of new coal power capacity in 2023, an 11 percent increase from the year before. While many climate targets are put in jeopardy by the decision, electricity shortages in 2021 led China to find solutions, including new coal power plants. According to The Globe and Mail, China has approved 218 gigawatts of new coal plants in the past two years, enough to supply electricity to all of Brazil.
Data from Global Energy Monitor shows the world's coal fleet increased by 2% to 2,130 gigawatts, with China accounting for nearly 66% of the increase, followed by Indonesia and India.
Last year, China began constructing 70 gigawatts of new coal plants, which is almost 20 times the amount built in the rest of the world combined. https://calgaryherald.com/business/energy/canada-coal-exports-rise-2023-despite-promised-ban Canada has more than tripled coal exports since claiming to ban coal exports under its climate plan, new records show. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault had threatened to use criminal sanctions against provinces that continue running coal-fired power plants (turns out their policy really is that CO² from burning coal, etc. in China is good but helping Canadians is criminal): "Canada is driving the international phase-out of emissions from coal power."
At 32 million tonnes, Canada’s exports were nearly the same as the US, accounting for a similar dollar value even after factoring in currency translation. About 83% came from BC and Alberta. The difference was that nearly half of Canadian exports go to China instead of India for USA exports (see https://wolfstreet.com/2024/04/01/us-coal-production-consumption-exports-imports-in-2023-consumption-plunges-to-lowest-since-1963-but-exports-rise/
My favorite isn't when they fall for the news, but when they take a different approach: justifying that China is different because "they're years behind us" (which isn't even true anymore with all of the IP theft and willingness of domestic companies to provide for China essentially any informational access they want.)
"Oh it's fine that China still uses coal, we've been using it for longer! China is .1% less coal this year than last year, which is showing great progress!"
Ugh.
make you want to look for a machete doesn't it?
Not even Danny Trejo set loose with endless cocaine would be able to stop this alone!
.... for coal burning EVs.
spot on! we burn coal for electricity. how damn dumb are the libtards to fall for this shit? we know the NWO is not dumb, just completely evil, but the normies are marching hand in hand with this evil.
China is the number ONE country for pollution of everything, water, air, food, etc. and they keep getting a pass on everything.
