@RealClearEnergy @JudeClemente @SierraClub For perspective, US coal production this year will total about 600M tons. The surge in coal demand in China and India – as well as in the U.S., where coal use jumped by 17% last year – demonstrates two things:
@RealClearEnergy @JudeClemente @SierraClub First, it shows that the Iron Law of Electricity has not been broken,Second, it shows that it is far easier to talk about cutting emissions than it is to achieve significant cuts.

3/10 Pressure by many including @Fridays4future and a #Green wave during last year’s @Europarl_EN elections left @vonderleyen with little alternative than to elevate the #green agenda to unprecedented prominence.

#BLK's 2020 #coal policy doesn't address these gaps - when will they get serious about #ClimateCrisis?
The @UNFCCC & @IPCC_CH have warned for years that we have to get out of coal, fast, but #BlackRock just keeps pumping $$ into it.

1. The Commission rightly recognizes that the #JustTransition needs to be fair for everyone:

➡️people negatively affected by climate policy

2. The fund will support the regions and sectors most affected by the transition. Yes, you read that right! It’s not only about #coal. This is important because reducing emissions in other sectors will also have consequences for workers and communities. 👏👏
