Global Coal Use Set to Reach Record High in 2022
Global Coal Use , Set to Reach , Record High in 2022.
ABC News reports that on December 16, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said that coal use across the world
is on track to reach a new record in 2022.
.
The news comes amid consistently
high demand for the fossil fuel.
.
According to the Paris-based agency, while
coal use only grew by 1.2% in 2022, the increase
pushed utilization of the fossil fuel to an all-time high.
8 billion metric tons of coal, were burned in 2022, beating
the previous record set in 2013.
The world’s coal consumption will remain
at similar levels in the following years
in the absence of stronger efforts to
accelerate the transition to clean energy, International Energy Agency, via ABC News.
According to the agency, high demand
in emerging Asian economies is likely to
offset any decline in use by mature markets.
.
This means coal will continue to be
the global energy system’s largest single
source of carbon dioxide emissions by far, International Energy Agency, via ABC News.
According to the IEA, higher prices
for natural gas have driven the increased
reliance on coal for generating power.
The world is close to a peak in fossil fuel use,
with coal set to be the first to decline,
but we are not there yet, Keisuke Sadamori, International Energy Agency's
director of energy markets and security, via ABC News.
China, the world's biggest consumer of coal, said recently
that it plans to boost coal use through 2025 in order to
avoid a repeat of widespread power shortages that occurred in 2021.

"I don't like the word acquisition.".
Collaboration is exactly what it’s
about. It would be remiss in our
inferred fiduciary duty — see what
I just did there? — to the thing
that we created to abandon it, Gene Simmons, to AP.
People might misunderstand and think,

and we’re just in Beverly Hills twiddling
our thumbs.’ No, that’s not true. , Gene Simmons, to AP.
We’re in the trenches with them.
We talk all the time. We share ideas.

doing was illegal. But I tried to hold
myself to a high standard, and I
certainly didn't meet that standard. , Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.

frustration and sense of betrayal from
thousands of customers; they deserve
to be paid in full, at current price, Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.

happened in November 2022,

today. It's excruciating to see
them waiting, day after day, Sam Bankman-Fried, to ABC News.

I'd give anything to be out there, trying
to make a positive difference in the
world, but I know that's not going to
happen. I can't help from prison, Sam Bankman-Fried, via statement

The plans can now only be renewed for up to
four months instead of three years that were permitted under former President Donald Trump. .
Additionally, short-term plan providers must
clearly explain benefit limitations to consumers. .
The president really believes
the American people do not want
to be taken for suckers and junk insurance takes them for suckers, Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, via statement.
Short-term insurance is intended to temporarily serve as a safety net for periods of transition,
such as switching jobs or prior to receiving Medicare.
However, critics call these plans
"junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover.
ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs.
In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.".
Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser,
said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to
sell inadequate short-term plans.
