The plans call for a huge ramp up of coal production, in line with the need for energy security.

Aided and abetted by your own choice of driving vehicle, that fossil fuel car you drive every day, emitting a ton of material.

You should offer an apology to those who believe that is a problem, Jay.

They plan on increasing coal production to replace imports, not consumption. You have a lot of trouble differentiating those basic concepts.

These guys act suprised. For decades now we encouraged trade from Chine despite a huge array of broken international norms. Trump and his troops claimed a spine but did nothing to stop any of Chinas transgressions or trade imbalance. Biden won’t do anything either. The Chinese are better than the rest of world at large scale solar. They do it cheaper. I think Biden is more interested in renewable chops than save the Muslims. Blame Iran and troublemakers in the Middle East. 
give Taiwan thousands of missiles in response for not playing nice. All these boats dragging the South Sea is silly. Give the Ukraine missiles by the thousands capable of taking out Moscow. But I want better solar and bigger tvs in exchange. 

The best TVs come from Japan and South Korea. I think most of us have already bought what we need anyway. Solar is great but we should be automating assembly lines here. Japan and Korean wages are not cheap. We could make TVs too. I have an RCA in name only. Just 50 inch but I had 19 inch TVs most of my life.

They would not be planning on coal production increases unless they had demand in view, Jay. That is how a planned economy works, or doesn't work.

Now, to return to the issue at hand, I think that you should at least offer a simple apology to those good and very sensitive eco people for whom you claim to speak, for driving a very old and high emittance fossil fuel vehicle. The difficulty you have in squaring yourself on this issue is a sore and painful annoyance.

No, they are increasing production to replace imports. You just can't understand this basic concept.

Yes, their end in view is reducing imports by increasing domestic production.  Their plan is not to increase overall coal supplies. Such a simple concept that every economist understands.

India's coal imports fall 23% during Apr-Jan 2022 as local production rises

"With considerable increase in domestic coal production, India has achieved significant reduction in import of coal despite surge in power demand," the Ministry of Coal said in a statement.

"All efforts are on to further enhance domestic coal production as availability of additional coal will aid in import-substitution," the ministry said.

Demand for oil and gasoline is so hot that prices are rapidly escalating and will continue to soar into the stratosphere.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Goldman-Now-Sees-Oil-Hitting-140-This-Summer.html

"Goldman Sachs raised its short-term target for Brent crude from $125 to $140.

Recovery in Chinese demand and a potential drop in Russian production may further lift prices.

Goldman: the global oil market remains in a structural deficit and would need much higher prices to regain its balance."

The future will see many countries and corporations investing in oil and gas due to the enormous profitability. Russia will probably sell throughout most of Asia which is a huge market. I think things will balance out in the next two to three years but fuel will remain high but more affordable. That should help electric vehicle demand, but the electricity will need to be dependable and that will still require oil and natural gas for a long long time.

No one but the Persian Gulf states use significant oil for electricity. How exactly is Russia going to get all that oil and gas to most of Asia? Details, details.

EU ban on insurance for Russian oil vessels is 'big blow' to Moscow

 

The European Union's (EU) announcement of its sixth package of sanctions, including a partial ban on Russian oil imports, was hugely significant. Foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called it "a big blow to (Vladimir) Putin's war chest." 

One element of the package, a ban on providing insurance on tankers carrying Russian crude oil, looks likely to have a particularly large impact.

After the embargo of Russian oil and tankers, the EU and the United Kingdom agreed to impose a ban on providing insurance to any ships carrying Russian oil imports anywhere in the world.

Officials hope to have this in place by the end of the year, effectively shutting out one of the largest crude oil producers from the maritime export market. Without insurance, tankers would be turned away from global ports.

This matters because the world runs on oil.

No you said the increased production was for consumption "They would not be planning on coal production increases unless they had demand in view, Jay. That is how a planned economy works, or doesn't work."

The plan is for coal consumption to decrease thus saving money and provide even more energy security.

the death of coal one windmill at a time, in the case of Ireland, 1000's of windmills

 

Wind energy provided 34% of Ireland’s electricity in May up 9% on May 2021, according to Wind Energy Ireland.

 

This was the most power ever generated by wind in the month of May and over the first five months of 2022 wind has provided 37% of Ireland’s electricity, said the trade group.

 

The results of Wind Energy Ireland’s reporting are based on EirGrid’s SCADA data compiled by MullanGrid and on market data provided by ElectroRoute.

Prices on the wholesale electricity market fell significantly to an average of €143.27 but market analysts believe this was likely a temporary fall due to a combination of an oversupply of gas in Britain, lower than expected demand and better renewable energy performance.

 

Wind Energy Ireland CEO Noel Cunniffe (pictured) said: “Irish wind farms have delivered enormous amounts of clean energy over the first five months of the year, cutting our carbon emissions and helping to insulate Irish consumers from our dependence on expensive imported gas.

 

“We expect to see new wind farms connected before the end of 2022 and with solar farms connecting to the grid this year for the first time too, the two technologies will increasingly be able to work together to push fossil fuels off the Irish electricity system.”

 

The organisation warned that delays in the planning system are slowing the rate of connection of new wind farms.

 

Although An Bord Pleanála has a statutory timeframe to decide applications from wind energy projects in 18 weeks the average time for a decision is over a year.

 

Cunniffe said: “Our planning system must be urgently reformed and properly resourced to ensure that the renewable energy projects needed to cut our carbon emissions and drive down electricity bills can get built as quickly as possible.”

Lithium is being caught up in the web of the environmentalists, the same protesters who are targeting oil and gasoline.

What goes around comes around.

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Major-Lithium-Producer-Could-Shut-German-Plant-Over-EU-Rule.html

"The European Commission is currently reviewing and assessing a proposal from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to classify lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, and lithium hydroxide as substances hazardous to human health. An EU committee is meeting early next month to discuss the proposal, while a final decision on the issue is expected toward the end of this year or early next year.

If the EU decides to include the lithium chemicals in the hazardous category, it would deal a blow to its own goals of becoming self-sufficient in batteries this decade and significantly raise the share of electric vehicles on the roads.

 

The decision would change the way lithium producers and processors work and will add costs to their operations."

No, less will be imported. You really have a problem with this simple concept. Total coal consumption is going down in India.
