That statement tells us who you really are, a liar with no moral code. You have negated all your previous posts by that one statement!!! Sad....

The outgoing U.S. administration in Washington is hysterically attempting to install programs which will be immediately scrapped by the Trump administration...there could hardly be a greater disagreement by government experts over any single issue. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Biden-Pledges-61-Emissions-Cut-by-2035-Ahead-of-Trump-Presidency.html "During the campaign, President-elect Trump has repeatedly slammed the “crazy” EV mandate of President Joe Biden, whose Administration has sought to support EV sales with incentives and mandates for federal agencies to use electric vehicles. Under Biden, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also introduced new air pollution limits to encourage automakers to produce and seek to sell more EVs. The American Petroleum Institute (API) sued the EPA over the vehicle emission standards, with Senior Vice President and General Counsel Ryan Meyers saying that “EPA has exceeded its congressional authority with this regulation that will eliminate most new gas cars and traditional hybrids from the U.S. market in less than a decade.” Meanwhile, EV sales haven’t surged, as hoped, and automakers, including the biggest in the U.S., have slowed down the rollout of new EV models or bet on more hybrids."

Coal is hot and getting hotter, with production and demand ramping up to all-time highs. EVs and coal in China are like bread and butter, you cannot have one without the other. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Worlds-Coal-Demand-at-Record-High-in-2024-IEA-Says.html This year, coal demand is on track to increase by 1% from 2023 to 8.77 billion tons, a record high, the IEA said today. "While coal demand continues to decline in the EU and the U.S. – although at slower paces than in 2023, China and India are set to see in 2024 another year of record-high coal consumption. China is on track for a 1% rise to 4.9 billion tons, and India’s coal demand is poised to increase by more than 5% to 1.3 billion tons—a level that only China has reached previously." "Although the share of coal in China’s electricity generation has been declining in recent years with the renewables boom, Chinese coal power generation and demand remains strong. Coal still accounts for about 60% of China’s power generation, despite a surge in hydropower earlier this year after abundant rainfall."
