The G7 reached an agreement on phasing out coal by the 2030s, a significant source of emissions. “This is another nail in the coffin for coal,” said Dave Jones, Ember’s Global Insights program director. “The journey to phase out coal power has been long: it’s been over seven years since the UK, France, Italy, and Canada committed to phase out coal power, so it’s good to see the United States and especially Japan at last be more explicit on their intentions.“

Coal lobbyists: challenge accepted. Hold my bag. My cartoonish burlap bag with a dollar sign on it. Here, Mr/Madam senator/Judge/President, hold my big bag of money. In fact, keep it, I’ve got several.

Yet Teck coal mines stocks trade 4x higher than precovid. Suuuure
I’ll believe it when it happens but hope that it does. Of course the coal companies can target to increase their trade to developing countries.
Note:
Coal for electricity generation. Fossil fuels will continue to be used in the production of other products like nylon, plastic, and steel.
Sustainable Development Goals are the opiate of the masses.
