Vietnam is planning to build a coal-fired electrical plant that will put an estimated 5.4 million tons of carbon dioxide in the air annually. The World Bank is dubious about aiding coal-fired plants and seems unlikely to help fund this project.
Now the American Export-Import Bank may step in and assume the risk for the Vietnamese plant with U.S. taxpayer money.
This is nuts. The coal used will not be U.S. coal. It will be imported from countries closer to Vietnam. Is Trump so enamored with digging coal and wrecking the future of the globe that he is willing to back coal-fired power generation in Vietnam? What is wrong with this man?
