I’ll bet you will not hear one peep about such a practical plan. Sure, you can clean up all the plants, but a much more prudent plan would be to take some of those billions of dollars and close or clean up the 1,400 worst offenders. President Joe Biden is leading the world in the foolish quest to kill off all fossil fuel power production in the world while without dealing with the so-called climate change crisis in the way that a prudent business person would act – why not fix the worst plants first? Zakaria’s report begged the obvious question: Why is the world not working on a plan to shut down or convert these 1,400 plants, instead of putting strict controls on all of these other power plants, too?

That report contended that 5% of the world’s power plants caused 73% of the world’s CO2 pollution. And it made me wonder why is this conclusion not common knowledge?

One of the group’s main conclusions sure got my attention. He quoted an international organization that had compiled a list of the 29,000 fossil fuel power plants in the world. energy economy when, frankly, we are leading the world in cleaning up the environment already.ĬNN host Fareed Zakaria had an amazing show a couple of weeks ago where he addressed this subject. With the whole planet consumed with the notion that we need to shut down fossil fuels and “save our world,” it has always bothered me that activists want to destroy the U.S. In a world obsessed with climate change and power plant emissions, would you not assume that our skies would be polluted and such a view would be impossible?

It was so clear, these snow-capped 12,500-foot high mountains in the Washakie Mountain Range glistened. 29, 2021, I looked northwest from the airport on a bluff overlooking Lander and could clearly see the Washakie Needles, almost 100 miles away.įrom that area in my hometown called Capitol Hill, the view was pristine. ***For All Things Wyoming, Sign-Up For Our Daily Newsletter***
