Don’t spread lies to feel better.
Even the most expensive is cheaper than fuel.

Grant, China’s coal use rose in H1, yes. Then it fell 3% in Q3.
Meanwhile, AEMO reports NEM wholesale prices fell 27% in Q3 as solar and batteries expanded.
Coal can lower prices at times, but Rio’s actual coal contract renewal quotes are uncompetitive. That’s the point.

Grant, China’s size doesn’t change Rio Tinto’s electricity bills. Rio says renewing coal-power contracts would make its Australian smelters uncompetitive.
Meanwhile, China’s coal-fired generation fell ~1.5% in 2025 as renewables surged.
You’re comparing volumes, not economics.

When one of the world's largest mining companies says coal-fired electricity can no longer compete economically for Australia's biggest aluminium smelters, it's time to listen.
Coal isn't being forced out by ideology. It's being priced out of relevance. reneweconomy.com.au/coal-pow…

Tesla will just double now, waymo can't.

Hey @elonmusk, Waymo added just a few vehicles to Texas registry to overtake Tesla's numbers again, per tracker.evwire.com.

Thanks!!
No ready-made tool that I have found, just lots of training and I think any of the AI tools can get it done

Which AI tool generates such videos? Pretty cool 👍🏼
