Nationalism to Confront Globalism in Glasgow | RealClearPolitics

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : But at home, Beijing is going all-out to mine and burn coal to keep the world's greatest manufacturing plant producing and the world's largest labor force employed.
54% : In brief, world demand for coal, oil and natural gas is surging, as are prices, just as the climate conference, whose goal is to reduce and eventually eliminate the burning of coal, oil and gas, is about to meet in Glasgow.
52% : At the insistence of Sen. Joe Manchin, the heart of President Joe Biden's climate agenda -- a program to replace U.S. coal- and gas-fired power plants with wind, solar and nuclear energy by steadily increasing taxes on the former and subsidies for the latter -- will apparently be dropped from the $3.5 trillion budget bill.
48% : Coal mines and coal-fired power plants that were shut for repairs are also to be reopened.
46% : Among the absentees may be Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose country generates more carbon dioxide than the U.S. and EU combined.
46% : Will nations such as China, India and Russia be willing to forgo the coal, oil and gas upon which 80% of the world's power plants currently depend, to be replaced by windmills and solar panels?
