I presume you are trying to articulate that the growth rate percentage is reducing. Either you struggle with the English language or your struggle with math, or maybe its both! Ive highlighted the word "grow" for you from your own post. Show me how you can have "negative growth" Growth dropping to a huge 19% in 2025 is still exceptional growth in what is now becoming a market with many players, increasing competition and driving costs down. This is from your own post FFS! Is the company you work for experiencing growth of 19%? if so wow thats amazing, well done! Rob, the term "negative growth" means growth rates below zero. I guess you skipped your economics 101 primers. Growth rates year on year which dropped to below 0% in November is not positive growth, but an actual decline in sales. Read and weep.

Ecocharger + 1,375 DL yesterday at 12:26 AM (edited) Coal is King. Long live the King. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Coal/Coal-Continues-to-Thrive-Despite-Pledges-for-Clean-Energy.html "Last year, China’s new plant construction reached an eight-year high, and if the government goes ahead with existing plant proposals it could increase its operating fleet by around one-third. China accounts for approximately 60 percent of the global coal usage, followed by India – which derives 80 percent of its electricity from coal – and the U.S." "While coal production and consumption are falling rapidly in the U.S. and parts of Europe, this is being outweighed by the rising demand in Asia. China and India intend to increase their coal consumption to meet the demands of population growth and industrialisation, constructing new coal plants to meet this rising demand, despite the increasing global pressure to decarbonise." The problem with this analysis is to connect the dots...namely, why is China rapidly increasing its coal generated energy? The answer is...to meet the needs of the EV transition. Just as we saw earlier, the drive to EV transport forces the increase of coal production, and the overall net effect on atmosphere is to increase significantly the atmospheric CO2 content.

Comrade, not in the good old USA Coal is now in last place in 2024 The King is Nat gas followed by Renewables and Renewables is gaining 2 percent share every year right now....Coal and Nat gas is giving up share to Renewables today in five more years Renewables will be King...Coal????? you will be lucky to see it with 10 percent.

Expanding universe is based on red shift... which we know is false due to Hubble constant we know is false(all you have to do is triangulate on Jupiter) and quasars which also prove it is false, along with latest nail in its coffin from the James Web Telescope... The only reason Red Shift still has ANY credibility is due to near objects for which it can be ~close enough and since we do not have any better explanation. Also gets back we have no uniform field theory or whichever name you wish to call it in Physics that explains that which we see. Latest Baloney with zero evidence trying to "help" our abysmal unified field theory of the universe is "dark matter" and quantum mechanics for which we have zero evidence of how anything interacts, but must take it on faith it is true... And Macro Evolution: You truly have to be a religoius zealot to believe that. Go take cellular biology and with a straight face say by random chance any of that could happen even when you KNOW all those processes and "parts" break down near instantly and the kicker? There is no known operational force which could randomly produce even partial parts of said cell and you religious cultists play make believe whole functioning cells are viable. "Science" today is a religious cult But do prattle onwards... 1. I do not know much about the expansion or status quo of the universe but .... a) from observation on centrifugal force, we could probably deduce that " every unrestrained spinning object would be expanding in circular form".. imagine shot put. There is a force pushing things outward, far and away, depending on the strength of spinning center, weight of thing(s) involved, speed of spinning, atmospheric resistance etc... Shall unrestrained. 2. Posted a reply on facebook over a question about evolution posted on a philosophy group. Briefly put it here, portion of it that i could remember..... a) Darwin was introduced by his teacher to go on a trip to Galapagos Island. There, he drew out everything he saw. He observed later, same birds that live in different areas of the island developed beaks of different shapes and sizes. He suggested different types of food found in different location might have provoked "adaptation", so that they can survive. Hence, he said:" survive of the fittest... " b) he also noticed, birds that had high reproductive rate, usually were of smaller sizes... ( Too much fornication and bird birth used up energy. Offsprings just had not enough time to grow properly in size.) 'o' '-' That's about all he said. Credible, right? Later, light bulb moment of some smarter scientists tried to explain origin of living things and human beings. The theory is " If chimpanzee could evolve to become earliest mankind, then, why not other things? There might be a link between all living things somehow... " Family tree was introduced. Here is where brainless but smart octopus, that have been living millions of years, could be our ancestors, by chance... 'o' +~+ In short, if Darwin had used the term " adapt" instead of "evolve", the blame might not have fallen on him...... If mankind is not from 🐙 and a single protein after some mysterious thunder and lightning, how do we exist? When science fails to explain things, religion or gods come into place... If they do not exist, then mysterious protein would be how the later living things evolved and adapted to environmental condition... Right? @~@ +.+ Edited yesterday at 04:33 AM by specinho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, any increase in American EV sales will increase coal usage in China, there is no escaping this. Lifetime EV profiles for CO2 include the coal needed to produce Chinese batteries.

Why do you personally care about coal demand? Why would you thank anyone? Do you have significant financial investment in coal mining? That would be an understandable bias. If you just promote coal out of some ideology that would be strange. You routinely say that EV's adoption will fail, if that is the case why would there be a "projected demand for EV's" leading to greater coal usage? You have to pick one side. You can't simultaneously say there is no demand for EV's and that EV demand will drive up coal prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
