"China's plan to build hundreds of new coal plants by 2030 appears to be at adds to capping CO2 emissions by 2030". LOL

Globalists are tragically hilarious. They seem to believe words and agreements actually mean something to Xi Jinping's evil regime. The world is being run by a bunch of Neville Chamberlains while the 21st century Hitler grins at them.

Analysis: Will China build hundreds of new coal plants in the 2020s?

Powerful stakeholders in China are lobbying for targets that would allow hundreds of new coal-fired power stations to be built into its next five-year-plan.

Hey -- Yankee dogs buying all our windmills and solar panels is GOOD -- because we know they are useless to power a REAL nation..

My question is -- China is building about 4 large nuclear plants per year also.. Is this reliance on coal just expedient or are they afraid they'll tap out of the ability to supply the nuclear fuel?

China is a nation spinning downward quickly.

I wonder if the building isn't being done like much of what EVERGRANDE did. It's an end unto itself. It's a way to keep people employed.

Which Chinese EV maker will be first to introduce truth in advertising when announcing their new COAL FIRED sparkmobile? From a company that honest it could be tempting to try one!

One of the graphs showed coal usage was down and has been going down for some time. Those new plants are basically modern more efficient ones replacing old failing ones.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

The only places coal use is going down is in western Europe....because they're suicidal ....and the USA because natural gas is better and we have vast amounts of it ...

Many nations on the planet will still be burning coal...even increasing usage...

Japan and Greece two recent counties have already made uturns on limiting or stopping coal

And China has loads and loads of it.

Apparently not enough.

As Coal Use Declines in U.S., Coal Companies Focus on China

With aging coal-fired U.S. power plants shutting down, major American coal companies are exporting ever-larger amounts of coal to China. Now, plans to build two new coal-shipping terminals on the West Coast have set up a battle with environmentalists who want to steer the world away from fossil...
