They are only against coal plants in the USA, not commie countries.
China sets off alarm bells around the world — 94.5 GW under construction
"Coal has powered China’s growth for decades. As the country industrialized at a breakneck pace, coal plants became the backbone of its energy system — reliable, abundant, and deeply tied to economic development. Even as the world turned its focus to emissions and climate policy, the country continued to lean heavily on its domestic coal supply, seeing it as a tool for stability and energy security around the world. At the same time, China hasn’t ignored the clean energy race. In fact, it’s been leading it."
Where is our but but but China has low per capita CO2 crowd?
Dirty
Stinking
Ice Cap melting Coal
China to the Climate Change guys
In more ways than one.

Point being our AGW Cult keeps blaming the USA and not Chi-na@99.8% of life (Flora) needs CO2 to exist, and we 0.02%(Fauna) need them.
Coal is not "Dirty", "Stinking", or "Ice Cap Melting", especiallywhen the combustion aftermath ~flue is properly dealt with;
Flue Gas Desulfurization ;
Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is a set of technologies used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from exhaust flue gases of fossil-fuel power plants, and from the emissions of other sulfur oxide emitting processes such as waste incineration, petroleum refineries, cement and lime kilns.
...
Since stringent environmental regulations limiting SO2 emissions have been enacted in many countries, SO2 is being removed from flue gases by a variety of methods. Common methods used:
- Wet scrubbing using a slurry of alkaline sorbent, usually limestone or lime, or seawater to scrub gases;
- Spray-dry scrubbing using similar sorbent slurries;
- Wet sulfuric acid process recovering sulfur in the form of commercial quality sulfuric acid;
- SNOX Flue gas desulfurization removes sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates from flue gases;
- Dry sorbent injection systems that introduce powdered hydrated lime (or other sorbent material) into exhaust ducts to eliminate SO2 and SO3 from process emissions.
For a typical coal-fired power station, flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) may remove 90 per cent or more of the SO2 in the flue gases.

Unfortunately China doesn't do FGD, and there is their "crime".
Coal is "clean" if one does FGD.
I've often wondered how many members/posters here are paid dis-informationists.
When you count the totality of CO2 emitted, the USA is the nation that has released the most.

When you count the totality of CO2 emitted, the USA is the nation that has released the most.
"There are some key points we can learn from this perspective:
- The United States has emitted more CO<span>2</span> than any other country to date: at around 400 billion tonnes since 1751, it is responsible for almost one-quarter of historical emissions;
- This exceeds the contribution of China, the world's second-largest national contributor, by more than 1.5 times;
- The countries of the European Union – which are grouped together here as they typically negotiate and set targets on a collaborative basis – are also a large historical contributor at almost a fifth of all emissions;
- Many of the large annual emitters today – such as India and Brazil – are not large contributors in a historical context;
- Africa’s regional contribution – relative to its population size – has been very small. This is the result of very low per capita emissions – both historically and currently."
