The latest instance of "proof" of global warming.

Waco, just did a little reading. I think we were both wrong, the Chinese coal consumption probably won’t grow or decline very much for foreseeable future. They are building a lot of coal plants. Maybe they’re retiring some of the older ones? Still you should see increases in their carbon emissions. They’ll burn a lot more natural gas Originally Posted by Tiny
Tiny - clean burning natural gas will likely supplant coal and nuclear as both cleaner than coal, and no radiation like nukes.

Assup is still a faggot.
Best way to to take money from your pocket and add it into their pockets (the elitists and politicians of course) is with emotions and the fear of armageddon.

Shit Waco, You're starting to sound like LexusLover. You insist on arguing with me about things I actually know something about. If you want to win stick to subjects like World War II and Texas history. You'll kick my ass.

And if you're going to argue anyway, please remember, Google is your friend.

As of January, the Chinese government had shelved plans for 435 GW coal capacity, but there were still 116 GW of new capacity going ahead, in pre-construction phase, and 94 GW under construction. There are more coal fired power plants under coonstruction and still planned in China than in any other country. A typical Chinese coal plant apparently has a capacity of around 300 or 400 MW (94 GW / 299 plants under construction = 315 MW per plant). Source: Page 12 of the following,

Btw, if you were right, and you're not, it would strengthen the left's argument we should have stayed in the Paris Climate Agreement and should work hard to cut carbon emissions. If China and India were willing to reduce emissions (not just slow their growth) along with the developed world, and are more likely to do so if we do so, then cutting is not as likely to be an exercise in futility.

by about two orders of magnitude if i had to venture a guess. maybe more.


i'll let you google what an "order of magnitude" means.

As U.S. Shutters Coal Plants, China and Japan are Building Them
APRIL 23, 2015

China is building one coal-fired power plant every 7 to 10 days, while Japan plans to build 43 coal-fired power projects to replace its shuttered nuclear units....

China is expected to add the equivalent of a new 600-megawatt plant every 10 days for the next 10 years.

Dick Nixon!

unlike Chernobyl which was a full scale implementation of a 1950's British prototype design, which they quickly abandoned, there was nothing flawed about the reactor design in Japan. the problem was a 100 year tsunami and the generators to pump the cooling water.

had the tsunami not cut power to the pumps, the reactor wouldn't have gone critical.

by the way, Richard Branson contends that a 100 mile square solar plant in the US southwest desert could power the entire US with solar power.

well, if that's so, then do it!

i haven't seen anyone who confirms what he claims.

Proffering the concept that the Chinese government gives a shit about other people's misfortunes, even if they believe the global warming demagogues, shows utter ignorance.

These articles are funded and coordinated by the leftist fascist(obama, clintons(plural), Gore, Soros, etc.).

They are the same people that fund and organize the racebaiting destruction of black communities.

They fund and organize the fascist thugs who attack freely associating supporters of Donald Trump(I am not one of them) with mace, clubs, and various other forms of mayhem weapons while wearing Balaclavas.

They fund the effort to use foreign sources propaganda to sway our state, local, and national elections.

They harass and destroy the careers and lives of anyone who opposes their extremist ideology.

They pervert the scientific process to support the destruction of an efficient and effective system of organizing people to be productive(capitalism) to implement their vision of how people ought to be controlled(Chavism.)

If that description doesn't characterize fascist thugs, then I don't know what does.

The people reading and writing three articles that I linked to don't give a rat's ass about global warming as far as you or I know. They're interested in supply and demand for coal.

You are right about the fourth link, it is from an anti-coal organization. It did however include a list of coal fired generating capacity, planned and under construction, by country, that I didn't find elsewhere, because I didn't look hard enough.

Fred, not necessarily in China. Although capital costs are higher, in the long term coal fired power plants in China are much cheaper than gas fired plants. This is because the Chinese pay a lot more for natural gas than we do. I believe the newer coal fired plants being built in China are much cleaner burning than the older ones. You're spot on in the USA, with natural gas at $3.00 per MMBTU. Also it costs a lot less to build a gas fired plant, and as you note gas is cleaner burning.

W ell fk me. I thought trump was going to make coal great again. I can't believe he lied to the American people smh. Oh yeah...he made health care great again too.
What makes ME laugh, is we keep hearing about how 'evil our reliance on oil and such is. BUT IMO those forest fires CA's been riddled with over the past 20+ years, have pumped out more smog/green house gasses and such, than 100 years of industry.
