> The United States committed Saturday to the idea of phasing out coal power plants, joining 56 other nations in kicking the coal habit.

This is completely different from what you claimed

> only 56 countries currently do not plan to do so

There is zero information about how many countries have any coal plants at all or how many are building new ones.

The only information in the quote is about phasing out.

My claim was and is, the majority of countries are still running coal, china is no exception there.

Only some rich countries decided to phase out. My source confirms it.

Do you have other sources?

Your original claim:

> (only some countries do not build coal plants anymore).

This comment:

> My claim was and is, the majority of countries are still running coal, china is no exception there.

Can you spot the difference?

Difference, but no contradiction. But I also fail to see deeper meaning in this exchange.
