Those power plants are in China. Good luck


The most carbon emitting plant is in Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be%C5%82chat%C3%B3w_Power_Stat...

"The plant releases each year more carbon dioxide than the entire country of Switzerland."


Here is a map of all coal-fired power plants in the United States: https://coal.sierraclub.org/coal-plant-map


ok now do China then compare the total output between them


Ok.

- Map of all coal power plants: https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants

- Cumulative emissions by country: https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2

> the United States has emitted more CO2 than any other country to date: at around 400 billion tonnes since 1751, it is responsible for 25% of historical emissions

> this is twice more than China – the world’s second largest national contributor

This is not to downplay the serious and growing impact of China on global GHG emissions, just that casting coal as only a China problem is inaccurate and does not move us toward a solution.


Excellent. Now I would recommend looking at the rate of change for each country in recent years to see even more clarity.


It would be a lot easier to just make the point you are trying to make.


I thought I made a point


The fourth largest coal plant is in Taiwan.



Probably not entitled, just disillusioned. They thought working for the best meant working with the best.


Fact check: TRUE


Food items are swapped out for lower cost 'substitutes'. I can't imagine someone cooking those numbers


I identify as inflation


The power of positive thinking


Meh, a couple of '10% for the big guys later' and nothing will happen


How much security savings do I get?


Cannot explain, means even if you know how, you cannot explain it.


Great steel man run down. It's hard to compete against tax cows.
