John Kerry: ‘By 2030 in the United States We Will Not Have Coal Plants’

You know as well ░░░░░░░░ I do that the ░░░░░░░░ is for to have ░░░░░░░░ 30 percent 30 percent ░░░░░░░░ by 2030 but not ░░░░░░░░ But it s not ░░░░░░░░ country countries saying they ░░░░░░░░ cut by X amount ░░░░░░░░ is the difference between ░░░░░░░░ and the And that ░░░░░░░░ accurate It is the ░░░░░░░░ And you also haven ░░░░░░░░ got China or Russia ░░░░░░░░ it Well let s ░░░░░░░░ what happens in the ░░░░░░░░ days Maybe we can ░░░░░░░░ it and get a ░░░░░░░░ N to use it ░░░░░░░░ you think you might ░░░░░░░░ able to pull China ░░░░░░░░ the meeting Well we ░░░░░░░░ working at it I ░░░░░░░░ up till 3 00 ░░░░░░░░ the morning yesterday It ░░░░░░░░ It s today It ░░░░░░░░ yesterday And we were ░░░░░░░░ to 30 in the ░░░░░░░░ the night before that ░░░░░░░░ with a number of ░░░░░░░░ countries And I m ░░░░░░░░ I m just There ░░░░░░░░ a specific China problem ░░░░░░░░ t it They are ░░░░░░░░ biggest emitter of greenhouse ░░░░░░░░ Obviously that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ into account the historical ░░░░░░░░ that they always build ░░░░░░░░ They re not they ░░░░░░░░ t actually done anything ░░░░░░░░ other than commit So ░░░░░░░░ that s not fair ░░░░░░░░ no it s not ░░░░░░░░ it s not financing ░░░░░░░░ outside China I urge ░░░░░░░░ to go read their ░░░░░░░░ It s the one ░░░░░░░░ and plan and Errors ░░░░░░░░ d read it because ░░░░░░░░ spent a lot of ░░░░░░░░ reading it in the ░░░░░░░░ couple of days It ░░░░░░░░ calls it It says ░░░░░░░░ will do a lot ░░░░░░░░ it enough No But ░░░░░░░░ they do a lot ░░░░░░░░ They re talking about ░░░░░░░░ limiting coal It s ░░░░░░░░ about getting rid of ░░░░░░░░ coal usage They re ░░░░░░░░ about phasing down after ░░░░░░░░ certain point And China ░░░░░░░░ 79 percent of all ░░░░░░░░ its energy comes from ░░░░░░░░ That s the way ░░░░░░░░ built a less developed ░░░░░░░░ And I can remember ░░░░░░░░ in Shanghai and early ░░░░░░░░ standing on the bond ░░░░░░░░ out at the Pudong ░░░░░░░░ there were a couple ░░░░░░░░ skyscrapers going out with ░░░░░░░░ rickety bamboo lashed scaffolding ░░░░░░░░ two And then I ░░░░░░░░ back 10 years later ░░░░░░░░ there was another Hong ░░░░░░░░ staring you in the ░░░░░░░░ where there d been ░░░░░░░░ paddies That was China ░░░░░░░░ had this incredible journey ░░░░░░░░ been fueled by coal ░░░░░░░░ ve also sat on ░░░░░░░░ Pudong And you can ░░░░░░░░ the barges laden with ░░░░░░░░ timing down that river ░░░░░░░░ has to move away ░░░░░░░░ coal and they are ░░░░░░░░ out a plan which ░░░░░░░░ t yet enough So ░░░░░░░░ do you do about ░░░░░░░░ Well our our theory ░░░░░░░░ well let s try ░░░░░░░░ work together to see ░░░░░░░░ we can find the ░░░░░░░░ as nations around the ░░░░░░░░ to accelerate this We ░░░░░░░░ been doing that in ░░░░░░░░ last months We ve ░░░░░░░░ with Mexico Two months ░░░░░░░░ President Lopez Obrador wouldn ░░░░░░░░ talk about anything but ░░░░░░░░ They re going to ░░░░░░░░ their oil Mexico was ░░░░░░░░ That s what represented ░░░░░░░░ That was their asset ░░░░░░░░ went down there we ░░░░░░░░ with them and spent ░░░░░░░░ He spent the whole ░░░░░░░░ with me talking about ░░░░░░░░ And in the end ░░░░░░░░ signed on to an ░░░░░░░░ where Mexico said we ░░░░░░░░ gonna submit a new ░░░░░░░░ next year We re ░░░░░░░░ deploy geothermal And then ░░░░░░░░ course they have active ░░░░░░░░ We re going to ░░░░░░░░ hydro solar wind They ░░░░░░░░ incredible capacity for that ░░░░░░░░ the southern part of ░░░░░░░░ country They could be ░░░░░░░░ major provider of alternative ░░░░░░░░ energy to the United ░░░░░░░░ to Canada You could ░░░░░░░░ on and on this ░░░░░░░░ week on the 18th ░░░░░░░░ is a meeting a ░░░░░░░░ of the Americas with ░░░░░░░░ the US and Mexico ░░░░░░░░ to talk about this ░░░░░░░░ of how do we ░░░░░░░░ together So you know ░░░░░░░░ is very different from ░░░░░░░░ insults of the last ░░░░░░░░ years This is a ░░░░░░░░ effort by President Biden ░░░░░░░░ pull people together and ░░░░░░░░ find solutions Do you ░░░░░░░░ just one last thing ░░░░░░░░ that final text do ░░░░░░░░ think you can bring ░░░░░░░░ Chinese the Russians these ░░░░░░░░ people into committing say ░░░░░░░░ measuring indices on an ░░░░░░░░ basis or to adding ░░░░░░░░ least something else into ░░░░░░░░ final text of what ░░░░░░░░ out Well yes I ░░░░░░░░ we have to add ░░░░░░░░ the final text But ░░░░░░░░ remember COP is not ░░░░░░░░ just by the indices ░░░░░░░░ this cop I mean ░░░░░░░░ started a thing called ░░░░░░░░ first mover coalition We ░░░░░░░░ Volvo at the table ░░░░░░░░ has pledged they are ░░░░░░░░ to buy 10 percent ░░░░░░░░ their steel for all ░░░░░░░░ manufacturer of cars will ░░░░░░░░ be green green steel ░░░░░░░░ sends a message to ░░░░░░░░ marketplace that green steel ░░░░░░░░ a market society has ░░░░░░░░ buyer And so you ░░░░░░░░ begin to invest with ░░░░░░░░ and it begins to ░░░░░░░░ risk in the same ░░░░░░░░ DHL is part of ░░░░░░░░ They are going to ░░░░░░░░ things with their shipping ░░░░░░░░ be carbon free Maersk ░░░░░░░░ signed up Maersk has ░░░░░░░░ eight new ships cargo ░░░░░░░░ carbon free And they ░░░░░░░░ t exactly know which ░░░░░░░░ they ll use But ░░░░░░░░ re going to do ░░░░░░░░ and they will do ░░░░░░░░ Amazon has giant joined ░░░░░░░░ first mover coalition So ░░░░░░░░ s on the side ░░░░░░░░ s not part of ░░░░░░░░ NDC but that s ░░░░░░░░ to result in emissions ░░░░░░░░ You have United Airlines ░░░░░░░░ part of that They ░░░░░░░░ a commitment with respect ░░░░░░░░ the sustainable aviation fuel ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ to accelerate the creation ░░░░░░░░ markets But there are ░░░░░░░░ bunch of other things ░░░░░░░░ s a market demand ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ s the forest initiative ░░░░░░░░
