global coal consumption has advanced by over 50% in the past decade

[joshcryer]

24. India is not reducing their coal consumption.

Tata Power even signed on to research nuclear plants.

They (Tata Group) presumably dumped coal from their portfolio because India's coal isn't as profitable.

Tata Group (who Tata Power is a subsidiary of) is a conglomerate that wants to make profit.



edit: lol, Tata Power is on full steam ahead with regards to coal, kristopher:

India grapples with coal shortages
Amid India's ongoing domestic coal shortage, Tata Power, the country's largest private power producer, said it is eyeing coal mines abroad for fuel security.

"We are already scouting for coal mines overseas," said Tata Power Executive Director for Operations S Padmanabhan, Press Trust of India reports. He said the company was looking at Indonesia and South Africa for acquisitions.

"Given the demand for the fuel for our power plants and the shortage of domestically produced coal, we have to depend on imports," Padmanabhan said.

The company also aims to produce 50 million metric tons of coal annually by 2020 to ensure fuel security, he said.

So, not only is it greenwashing, it's patently misleading and false. Amusing to say the least. That 50 million metric tons is on top of the tens of millions India Coal and the other coal producers in India produces, btw.
