Democrat Climate Change Cult: Ban Everything!
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, and the United States, as well as 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,”

Their coal fired plants are 100% Non-polluting and the best for Mother Earth. 🤓
It will be interesting to see the peasant uprising this should initiate. But it probably won’t happen until they’re freezing in 2036.

Not stupid.
Evil.
These demonic bastards know full well what they’re doing. The power shortages, brownouts, and outright failures aren’t some accidental unintended consequence.
They are the intended result.
China says “Bwahahahahahaha...Idiots!”
The war on coal must now produce climate wacko blood in the streets
“At which time China will become ruler of the world.”
We won’t have to wait until 2035, we’re pretty much there already. Our unmanageable national debt, open borders, and unwelcome welfare to both residents here and foreign countries will bring us down long before coal will.
Hmmm.. Maybe coal is going to get cheaper. Maybe I’ll buy me a me a coal stove for those cold winters here in the Midwest.. :)
Maybe “Claude” the now sentient robot can fill these idiots in...
This is just people laying the groundwork to accept credit for what is already happening anyway. Coal use is down 60% in the USA in the last ten years. Renewables and nuclear now both produce more energy than coal.
Oh no! We can only hope that future administrations will pull out of such deals. Talk about national suicide!
Same here. I am so sick and tired of this country doing everything it can to destroy itself. Please, someone find me a nice little island out in the middle of the Pacific that the USA, or any other G7 nation, doesn't have jurisdiction over.
The countries shutting down power plants are also mandating EVs. What could go wrong?
China, India, and Russia are doing just the opposite. Smart countries, they will survive, who ever would’ve predicted this in the 70’s and 80’s?
Exporting jobs to chyna.
Sure, that will take up the slack covering the coal-fired generation facilities in China, India and the like.
trump can tear up this “agreement” on day one in office ... it has no legal authority unless ratified by the Senate as a treaty ...

Once the coal infrastructure is destroyed the Marxists make it almost impossible to get it back. The best part, of course, is the WEF G7 want to get rid of coal to buy gas from Putin. They’re more than happy to finance USSR 2.0.
meaningless agreement done for political points so the greenie weenies continue to vote demorat.
If it’s not a Senate-approved treaty it is only worth the attention a US President/Congress would allow it. Obama’s Peace Accords (IIRC) were signed by him and were renounced by Trump, IIRC. We can do it again. Vote Trump.
