Rising life expectancy with rising fossil fuels consumption.
1. Global oil consumption: 1965, 30.9 million barrels per day (mbpd);
1995, 70.4 mbpd; 2024, 101.4 mbpd.
2. Global gas consumption, 1965, 630 billion cubic meters (bcm);
1995, 2,110 bcm; 2024, 4,128 bcm.
3. Global coal consumption, 1965, 58.2 exajoules (EJ);
1995, 93.6 EJ; 2024, 165.1 EJ.
More fossil fuels, more electricity, more modern life, higher productivity, higher prosperity and life expectancy.
And today the climate establishment wants to celebrate the annual "Darkness is beautiful" via "Earth Hour", hehe. They may be joyful of current expensive oil, gas and coal, which force people to reduce consumption of these useful products. Miserable minds.

Meanwhile, the re-awakening about the value, beauty and reliability of coal energy.
Last November I saw Japan's largest coal plant, the Hekinan coal thermal plant in Nagoya owned by JERA Power, JP's largest energy company. Then the Futtsu Gas thermal plant in Chubu, near Tokyo, also JP's largest LNG plant and 3rd largest LNG plant in the world. Hekinan has 5 units, 1 of which is being planned to be converted to ammonia plant,

Now JERA realizes they need more coal plant, good, brilliant decision. I think the plan to convert one unit of coal plant to ammonia plant will be cancelled.
