Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity.
As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog.
So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now?
Greece and the UK lead the way!

It's vaguely fascinating to me how nuclear power and carbon removal both work to deter here-and-now mitigation in really, really similar ways, but the former gets recognised as such way more often and way more easily. These analyses are really useful ways to illustrate how hollow the fantasy is:

In the years after Trump's tax cuts, S&P 500 corporations spent $2.72 trillion on stock buybacks to enrich wealthy shareholders. That's more than what they spent on investments in plants and technology to boost production and create jobs. So much for trickling down, huh?

Tackling extreme heat calls for radical new ideas.
In India's case, an innovative insurance program to help women get paid for not working during the hottest hours in this year's brutal heatwave. The payout was triggered when Ahmedabad breached 43.6°C.
