5. Coal is not "green energy," no matter how many times people seeking to rebrand fossil fuels as "hydrogen" claim it is.

China has more coal plants than the next 18 coal burning countries combined, 1195 of them.

Countries with the most coal plants in the world.

The next largest number of coal plants belongs to India, with 290 coal plants, more than the United States, Japan and Russia combined.

All the bullshit in the world from the fossil fuel industry, including its salespeople trying to rebrand it as the "hydrogen industry" has no effect on reality.

Any rational and honest person equipped with a keyboard and a mind can see through the obvious lie.
