I guess Indonesia has a thriving steel industry. I didn’t know that. What I do know is that you can’t make steel without coal. I also know – thanks to PJ Media – that the COP27 Green Junkies are offering Indonesia 20 billion to give up coal. Smiling, fingers crossed behind their back, Indonesia says 20 billion? Sure!

I suspect the deal has as many holes in it as the Paris Climate Scam and almost as many players.
According to the press release/fact sheet, a coalition of nations all signed on to the Just Energy Transition Partnership. Those nations include “the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (GOI) and the Governments of Japan, the United States of America, Canada, Denmark, the European Union, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, Norway, the Republic of Italy, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (together the “International Partners Group” or IPG).”
I don’t see Ukraine, where we’ve spent a good deal of taxpayers’ money increasing that nation’s carbon footprint under the color of a proxy war with Russia.
I guess that’s not a climate concern, but they have agreed that the net zero lie is so important that it must be achieved at any cost (they can make you and your ancestors pay). Part of that plan includes offering a buffet of ways to funnel 20 billion dollars to the Muslims in Indonesia to get them off their coal habit.
“To achieve these targets, this long-term partnership intends to mobilize an initial $20 billion in public and private financing over a three-to-five-year period, using a mix of grants, concessional loans, market-rate loans, guarantees, and private investments. “
It’s a lot of money, but not for Indonesia. Their Annual GDP is over 1 trillion, a large chunk of which is manufacturing, Construction, and mining. They’ll need coal. You can’t make steel without it – and that’s the actual steel. You also need the energy to fabricate what you made into something you can use. Is the 20 billion so they can start buying steel from China?
China is committed to opening more coal plants. They’ll need the energy to make all these solar panels and wind turbines the rest of the world is being told to buy. Maybe Indonesia can sell their coal to China – I didn’t read the agreement so maybe selling it is still okay- and then China can use it to make things they sell back to Indonesia.
China is the world leader in “emissions,” with few, if any, environmental limitations. And they’ve no plans to cop a feel for western enviro-elites appetitive for self-destruction.
That says a lot about their commitment to the greening of the planet. Or maybe it says China owns all these assh*les, who are happy to bilk their citizens for a dead-end transition whose result is a world run by China or like China, which would be ugly, dirty, nasty, and brutish.
Everyone would have to wear face masks.
On a bright note, one thing they can do – facemasks – is filter out more substantial particles in the air that would follow in a world run by China. Or one where hundreds of private jets travel to a climate conference to discuss offshoring taxpayers’ wealth to Marxists in exchange for …personal wealth from China.
If the elites are not careful, the new world order will look more like the French Revolution.
A world lit by candles where even the sheep figure it out they’ve been screwed over.
