Supply and demand, automatically, is the answer. If you mess with natural supply and demand by trying to control it, you will only mess everything up.

The Ukraine war is a good example of this. The US and Europe tried to sanction Russia into pain and problems. It only increased Russia's fair trade elsewhere.

Cool

But the US and Europe managed to sanction Russia into pain and problems. The thing is, Europe also sanctioned itself in the process.

Every country has pain and problems in some ways.

Russia has expanded and grown into other parts of the world because of the sanctions. Sure, it was troublesome for them to do this in some ways. But the overall effect is that they are growing and expanding rather than declining. And when Europe finally has exhausted their supplies, they will go back to Russia.

On the other hand, look at the problems Europe is having due to the sanctions. And inflation in the US threatens the very banking system that pushed the sanctions into place.

    One year after promising that she would phase coal out entirely by the end of 2024 and convincing the world to abolish coal mining, the UK on Wednesday approved a new coal mine. The Whitehaven mine, also known as the Woodhouse Colliery, is scheduled to operate until 2049 and will emit around 9 million tons of planet-warming emissions every year. Paul Ekins, Professor of Resources and Environmental Policy at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources called this action by the UK government hypocrisy.

    The most interesting part of the news was the reason for opening the coal. The UK government claimed that the mine would create about 500 jobs In defense of an outright violation of its own campaign against fossil fuels, supporters of the mine say it would create 500 jobs and cut coal importation. If job creation is now more important than the environment, why would they always attack Bitcoin which creates millions of jobs?

Optically, seems that UK is creating more coal production, but it may be, as you say in your post, a question of producing locally, as opposed to bringing the coal from South Africa or Australia, which actually creates more emissions. One has to be more careful when judging the reasons behind this type of decisions as sometimes there is more than meets they eye.

This is just because that Bitcoin isn't under their direct control. Government always prioritizes those policies and plans under its control, whereas any government or person cannot control bitcoin. Although on the other hand, the approval of the new coal mine is alarming as it violates its campaign against fossil fuels; I think the country's people should take up this matter.

getting rid of all utility of coal and oil is not a thing of reality
its the reduction of the emissions of burning that stuff that they are trying

if they can stop importing Xmegatonne. and instead use domestic xmegatonne
its not "adding" to the emissions and technically less transport via less imports can be less emissions.

but even in 2100 people will still be using plastic products(oil still used)
and coal is also used as an ingredient of the steal industry

so forget any aspect of thinking its a 0% USE of fossil. and more like a net zero emissions from fossil

yes there is a depleting finite supply of coal and oil. so yes they need to reduce waste and burning of it. and instead use the reserves purely for manufacturing and recycling otherwise there wont be any ingredients for consumer products in 100 years
