(Just as I predicted a few years ago, renewables have no hope of replacing fossil fuels) “Global coal demand will reach a historic high in 2022, similar to 2013’s record levels. According to the International Energy Agency, “Global coal consumption is forecast to rise by 0.7 percent in 2022 to 8 billion tons. … Coal consumption in the European Union is expected to rise by seven percent in 2022 on top of last year’s 14 percent jump.” “Analysts are projecting “a huge gas-to-coal fuel transition in power and industrial sectors” of Europe. Yes, not gas to renewables, but gas to coal.” Edited October 31, 2022 by brenthutch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Author is from this organisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CO2_Coalition Quote The CO2 Coalition is a nonprofit climate change denial advocacy organization in the United States founded in 2015.[1][2] The group's claims are disputed by the vast majority of climate scientists.[1] The organization has 108 members.[3] The organization been funded by energy industry firms and conservative activists who oppose climate change mitigation policies, such as the Mercer Family Foundation and Koch brothers.[4][1] It is viewed as the successor to the George C. Marshall Institute.[5] 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Author is from this organisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CO2_Coalition How about the IEA? https://www.iea.org/news/global-coal-demand-is-set-to-return-to-its-all-time-high-in-2022 “Based on current economic and market trends, global coal consumption is forecast to rise by 0.7% in 2022 to 8 billion tonnes, assuming the Chinese economy recovers as expected in the second half of the year, the IEA’s July 2022 Coal Market Update says. This global total would match the annual record set in 2013, and coal demand is likely to increase further next year to a new all-time high.” Did you catch that? Despite trillions of dollars wasted on chasing the dream of renewables, the actual reality is that next year we will burn more coal than ever. Looks like this “Dead Ender” isn’t so dead after all.
