G7 Despots Agree To Shut Down All Coal Plants By 2035
Ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) nations have agreed to eliminate all coal-fired power plants by 2035
The countries that are members of the Group of Seven (G7) are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.
This declaration was made by Andrew Bowie, a UK minister at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, during an interview in Turing, Italy.
“We do have an agreement to phase out coal in the first half of the 2030s,” Bowie said.
“This is, by the way, a historic agreement, something that we weren’t able to achieve at COP28 in Dubai last year.”
“So, to have the G7 nations come around the table to send that signal to the world – that we, the advanced economies of the world are committed to phasing out coal by the early 2030s – is quite incredible,” he added.
Business Standard reported:
Italian diplomatic sources said a technical deal had been reached.
The accord will be included in the G7 energy ministers’ final communique to be released on Tuesday at the end of a two-day meeting in Turin.
One source told Reuters earlier that diplomats from the G7 nations – Italy, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and Japan – discussed the issue until late on Sunday, before the start of the ministerial gathering.
The agreement marks a significant step in the direction indicated last year by the COP28 United Nations climate summit for a transition away from fossil fuels, of which coal is the most polluting.
It helps accelerate the shift of investments from coal to clean technology in particular in Japan and more broadly in the whole Asian coal economy, including China and India,” Luca Bergamaschi, co-founding member of Italian climate change think-tank ECCO, said on X.
China has the most coal-fired power plants in the world with 1,142 operational plants and the highest installed capacity of coal power plants with 1,108.91 gigawatts.
India has the second-most coal power plants, with approximately 285 active plants, and the United States has 240 active plants.
However, this agreement will not impact China and India, as they are not members of the G7.
Last week, the Biden regime introduced new regulations to lower emissions from power plants. The rules mandate that coal and new natural gas facilities capture or reduce 90% of their climate pollutants by 2032. …
“EPA is proud to make good on the Biden-Harris Administration’s vision to tackle climate change and to protect all communities from pollution in our air, water, and in our neighborhoods,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan.
“This year, the United States is projected to build more new electric generation capacity than we have in two decades – and 96 percent of that will be clean,” said Biden’s National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. …
In 2022, Biden vowed to shut down all coal plants in the country.
“No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it,” Biden said on Friday in north San Diego county. “Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant.”
“So it’s going to become a wind generation,” Biden added. “And all they’re doing is, it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on. We’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.”
The White House (or whoever is really in charge) went into damage control mode after Joe Biden let the truth slip.
Biden shutting down coal plants will impact voters in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, and other [states].
Democrat West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin blasted Joe Biden and called his comments “outrageous and divorced from reality.”

What a clown show. For every coal plant that is shut down, China and India open three. The only thing that needs shutting down is the G7 gang of terrorists.

The level of stupidity “leaders” of formerly thriving countries have descended into would be laughable if the outcomes were not so tragic for their citizens.

Is it mass insanity? That so many idiots want to destroy that which keeps millions alive is strange, as they will also die.

Whoever they are, they seem to believe it won’t affect them. One thing is sure, the next administration will walk back this stupidity, it’ll have to.

If the green agenda is implemented, civilization ends. This is the most pressing issue facing us; not Israel, not Ukraine – but the satanic evil of Agenda 2039 sustainable development. Pure evil.
