The use of coal is up 9% globally this year despite half hearted efforts to curb it’s use. China and India are the culprits and of course recovery from virus shut downs. Pushing much of our power generation in the direction of electricity is just going to strengthen the trend.
If you switch a car from ICE power to electricity in the world’s two most populous countries, India and China, all you are likely doing is running that car on coal vs petrol.

China is building 56 new coal fire electric generation plants with Australia and SA providing the coal.
It's OK if China does it...go ask Brandon.
Good one DbD.
What will the world do about these Chinese coal powered generation plants?
NOTHING.
But they will continue to buy Chinese goods and in that way FUEL THE FIRE.
But the Demorats and the Liberals world wide are to stupid to understand the problem but are quick to blame the western world for GLOBAL WARMING.
Talibiden's all of them.
Global Warming/ Climate Change is only a threat as long as they can tax the hell outa us.
In Canada we pay 8 cents /liter Green Gas Tax over and above what the government already grabs which is 5% on the purchase.
Thanks to Tradeau this Green tax increases every year except election year....wonder why.
Filled up yesterday and paid C$ 1.74/liter including the tax.
Scam?
You bet.
Electric cars and nuclear makes some sense for city pollution, even if you are not persuaded by global warming . But finding enough lithium is going to be the next crisis….buy Albemarle.
