Can someone compare the resource efficiency of coal production around the world. Long established USA mining where more efficient and better capturing pollution than in rapidly expanding Chinese mining might result net environmental benefit if they keep their best production capacity going at scale.
There may be no such thing as absolutely clean coal, but there absolutely are differences in how dirty coal production is from operation to operation.
We need global carbon tax systems. What if we agreed to all avoid tariffs on materials produced with less harm to environment than domestic production. We need to incentivize greener production & transport of even fossil fuels, bu internalizing the externality costs

Wow, that is crazy. We’re doomed.
