China, Japan and South Korea are expanding coal plants in developing nations despite mounting evidence that the climate continues to get worse.
A new report published by coal tracking company CoalSwarm shows that these three countries continue to fund coal plant construction in other nations.
They are building in places such as Indonesia, Vietnam, South Africa and Bangladesh.
China, Japan and South Korea are doing this despite transitioning to renewable energy sources at home, reports CleanTechnica.
Ted Nace, Executive Director of CoalSwarm, told CleanTechnica that they build coal plants overseas to "protect their equipment manufacturers." (Next Animation via Reuters)
