    Nobody should be using coal. Nobody NEEDS to use coal. Its not like you use coal for awhile then level up and it turns to renewables. Developing nations should be given/sold the necessary resources to be self sufficient.

              Ok I’ve had fun so I guess I’ll try to educate you.

              You’ve fallen for right wing talking points blaming China for climate change. Notice how they hone in a singular talking point while ignoring everything else? They don’t talk about carbon, they try to take a singular point coal.

              Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita

              Sort by emissions per capita and see where countries line up. US #16, China #25. India #125.

              That’s not to say that coal is fine. But when you hone in on that singular talking point and blame CHINA and oh yeah INDIA bad countries why are they so bad bad bad, then you’ve fallen for right wing Fox news screaming “CHINA’S COALL!”

              PS watch for them blaming cement use too, which of course developing countries will use more of.

                I literally just hate coal. I haven’t fallen for anything. I just very strongly believe coal fired steam systems should cease existing. I look at gigawatts generated and what the fuel is that fed that number. Coal is the worst of all the currently used fuels. The countries using it the most should stop. Emissions per capita are high in the US because we have and use so many electrical luxuries. We have steadily been increasing generation from renewables and we will continue to do so. Calling out countries Who use the most of the worst fuel doesn’t make me right wing. Stop using the worst fuel.

                  Good thing you can ignore everything else polluting the Earth. JFC. And just coincidentally spout Fox’s line. JFC. And ignore the actual problem of fucking CARBON. JFC. “Teehee the US just has too many electrical luxuries teehee, I’ll just ignore the HIGHER CARBON teehee.” JFC.

                  I don’t believe you for a second. Any rational person would look at the actual issue of carbon.
