U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said he thinks coal plants should not be “permitted anywhere in the world.”
During a speech at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Kerry said he is becoming “more and more” militant about climate policy because people are avoiding responsibility.
“We don’t need that necessarily to tell us we ought to be transitioning out of coal,” Kerry said about the pollution from coal plants. “There shouldn’t be any more coal power plants permitted anywhere in the world.”
“That’s how you can do something for health,” he added. “And the reality is that we’re not doing it.”
Kerry spoke at the conference during the first-ever dedicated “Health Day,” which intended to highlight the connections between the climate crisis and health crises. He said the climate crisis and health crisis are one and the same.
Kerry is serving as the first U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, and was nominated by President Biden in November 2020.
He said he is becoming more militant about coal plants because he does not “understand how adults who are in positions of responsibility can be avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis.”

Communists are really good at solving imaginary problems which always makes real disasters.
He needs to fly in his private jet to China and tell Xi that.
India too.
Years ago Ct closed the “sooty six” coal plants on the grounds that the emissions caused asthma. Now asthma rates are unchanged and electric bills have quadrupled. Eco zealots basically used the “second hand smoke” of cigs argument as the basis of their claims. It’s all a joke.
Who or what died and made this numbnut King of Energy?
Send John FâÂÂn Kerry to China and tell him âÂÂDonâÂÂt come back until the Chinese close all their coal mines.âÂÂ

He should go to China and enforce his edict.
It is so interesting to me how the US Democrats and RINOs pontificate about so much, but do only that which will better and fuller line their own pockets.
China and India are growing their use of coal, so two+ billion people can have access to energy. Not carbon credits.

Old Horse Face got 3 purples....and back to the world...for that AO.
People need to get ready for brownouts and blackouts.
Who TF does this guy think he is? He certainly doesn’t know anything about science or engineering, nor about how or what a dependable electric grid needs to operate. Conceited, arrogant, horse-faced, Leftist arsehole, THAT is what he is, nothing more.
Release my chakra! RELEASE MY CHAKRA!!!
“John Kerry says no coal plants should be ‘permitted anywhere in the world’”
Yet the fool John Kerry knows (a) both China and India are building more coal fired plants, keeping the costs of energy in THEIR economies down, (b) while any “net sero” energy plan will mean much higher energy costs here, (c) which means Kerry knows he is asking western economies to knowingly raise their energy costs while China, India and others deliverately do not.
We only call Kerry a fool deservedly.
Some of these evil ones never go away. When does Kerry finally stroke out?
Kerry should grab a rifle and invade China—lots of coal plants there for him to sabotage....

At last an office that makes Vice President of bulk prunes at the grocery store sound important.
