Vietnam can't build enough coal plants soon enough to keep pace with its booming economy.
Now that Hanoi Jane has become Climate Calamity Jane, her presence in Vietnam is probably no longer welcome.https://t.co/4n8MfIcrcj

Reuters: Vietnam’s coal, crude oil imports surge on rising energy demand – November 12, 2019
HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s coal and crude oil imports surged in the first ten months of this year, government data released on Tuesday showed, highlighting the Southeast Asian country’s increasing reliance on imported energy to support its fast-growing economy.
Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, backed by robust exports and foreign investment. Economic growth this year is expected to surpass the government’s target range of 6.6%-6.8%, as the country benefits from the Sino-U.S. trade war.
The strong growth has boosted demand for coal. Imports of the commodity, mostly from Australia and Indonesia, during the January-October period more than doubled from a year earlier to 36.8 million tonnes, valued at $3.25 billion, the Customs Department said in a statement.
The imported coal will mostly be used for the country’s growing fleet of coal-fired power plants, which will still play a key role in its power generation mix for the years to come even as Hanoi promotes renewables.
The country’s crude oil imports rose 80.6% from a year earlier to 6.8 million tonnes during the period, the department said.

2019: Jane Fonda the climate protester
The celebrated star is making a fool of herself with her climate crusade, and the media is making it worse.
We already know Fonda lives large, including a $13 million home she put on the market two years ago. She once bragged about joining the Mile High Club on a private jet. Does she use that energy gulping form of transportation often, like when she jets from California to D.C. for her climate activism? What personal sacrifices does she make to fight climate change? What about her celebrity peers?
Jane Fonda supports ‘Nuremberg trials’ for ‘climate criminal’ energy executives & politicians – Now, she wants energy executives and their political allies to be treated like Nazis and face a “Nuremberg” style trial similar to German dictator Adolf Hitler’s henchmen, who were often given the death penalty at the post-World War II trials. Host Michael Moynihan said, “So, you want to see sort of a Nuremberg trial for climate criminals?” to which Fonda responded, “Yeah, I would.” She appeared on the debut of The Impeachment Show on the Viceland, where she said that there’s “literally a ticking time bomb over everything” because of climate change. She claimed “our government is being ruled by fossil fuel” and so “democracy is teetering on the edge of collapse.”
