In the AV Press article, “Out of time: Climate talks go past deadline over coal, cash,” published Saturday, November 13, 2021, the US Climate Envoy, John Kerry stated, “COP26 draft proposals called on countries to accelerate the phase out of unabated coal power and of inefficien­t subsidies for fossil fuels.”

Kerry said it was “a definition of insanity,” that trillions were being spent to subsidize fossil fuels worldwide. “We’er allowing to feed the very problem we’re here to try to cure. It doesn’t make sense.”

According to https:// en.wikipedia.org there remains 86 coal fired electrical generation plants in the USA. Consuming 5,389,592 tons of coal annually.

In addition, according to https://globalener­gymonitor. org there are 6,601 coal fired electrical generation plants in the world, with more than 1,600 additional in constructi­on. This certainly “insanity” as Mr. Kerry has stated above. These coal fired plants are major contributo­rs to the world’s Global Warming situation.

The progress of clean Hydrogen fuel as a replacemen­t to fossil fuels is progressin­g.

As of the end of 2020, there are 540 Hydrogen re-fueling stations in the world. 140 in Japan, 90 in Germany, and 85 in China, with remaining of the 540 spread out around the world.

There are 180 hydrogen fuel generation plants within the world, with additional planned.
