Nineteen other countries are doing the same. That's according to a Report titled, Planet Wreckers.
Perhaps this is why major countries have been dragging their feet at all the climate conferences (COPs), eh? These same countries appear to believe they can stop said production expansion around 2050 or so because they think we'll be at NET ZERO carbon emissions by then. Really? Interesting logic. Net Zero while expanding fossil energy is a complete fantasy.
In a recent previous post here, I've stated in order to generate renewable energy gizmos and infrastructure, we will have to use fossil fuels for the immediate future. But not for 26 more years. That's way beyond "immediate future".
