Your tax dollars at work. The morons are in charge.

How many coal fired power plants are there in the world today?

Green New Deal does what... ???

The EU has 468 - building 27 more... Total 495

Turkey has 56 - building 93 more... Total 149

South Africa has 79 - building 24 more... Total 103

India has 589 - building 446 more... Total 1035

Philippines has 19 - building 60 more... Total 79

South Korea has 58 - building 26 more... Total 84

Japan has 90 - building 45 more... Total 135

China has 2,363 - building 1,171 more... Total 3,534

That's 5,615 projected coal powered plants in just 8 countries.

USA has 241 and building 0

And Democrat politicians with their "green new deal" want to shut down those 241 plants in order to "save" the planet.

This is EXCELLENT!! I knew the rough idea about the number of coal plants, but had not yet seen actual numbers until now.

This makes the point. Whatever the USA does or doesn't do won't make a Tinker's Dam regarding CO2 unless the rest of the world, especially China and India reduces their coal-fired power plants as well.

The whole "global warming" and "climate change" gambits by Democrats are to create a *supposedly* sound, scientific basis to justify a federal government power-grab and the passage of MORE laws to increase taxes and increased control of the privately owned power industry and its distribution. Never forget the *main* motivation they have!

"Oh, we will SAVE the planet!!" No wonder Trump left the Paris Accord.
