Because it is the “Yale Environmental Performance Index, 2026” and well…

The division between electrostate and petrostate is really starting to form.

A shorter war and a less destroyed Russia… You probably see the issue.

Seriously Western EVs are not bad. They are just too expensive.

1.4million casualties…

Wait only 20 chargers per city on average? That seems low.

and 160km longer

and WW1 broke the Russian Empire. Also deaths of the Russian Empire were 1.6-1.9% of the total population. So it is getting to that point, which is kind of crazy.

Like in Back to the Future.

Sorry, it just took me a minute to understand that you truly believe that China rather import coal from the US, then protect its own mining industry.

Exactly, which is why China is so important. If they even have a fairly small drop in coal consumption, that basically kills US coal exports and therefore the US coal industry.

The total coal exports of the US are like 2% of Chinas coal consumption and the volume of US coal mining is about 10% of what China consumes. It really does not take much to kill that market.

Currently China makes up more then half of global consumption. So if they have a fast decline, that can completely destroy the global coal market.

You mean underdeveloped countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and the US? All of them produce much more power using coal then Germany…

The big one is China and then with a massive gap India.

The US mined 410Mt of coal last year, which is obviously not all exported. There are a few countries, which buy coal in meaningful amounts, that such a terminal could make sense.

However the largest potential importer is China and that is falling.

Just bomb Iran to drive up the oil price and then destroy a bunch of nature to profit from that.

In his last term Obama tried to be nicer to Cuba and made some deals with them, which included easing on the embargo and embassies.

The actual rule is supposed to be forcing companies to have at least three different suppliers with a max share of 40% of supply for one. Hence if one be it China or the US cuts supply to the EU, they still have at least 60% coming from somewhere else.

I honestly would not be surprised, if Stellantis actually wants to kill Opel.

“The West” is a pretty bad category in this case. Germany had 66%, France 69% and Italy 72% growth in EV sales in the same period. The US saw a decline in sales though and from what was already a lower base.
