China approved the construction of another 106 gigawatts of coal-fired power capacity last year, four times higher than a year earlier and the highest since 2015, research shows.
Many of the newly approved projects were identified as “supporting” baseload capacity designed to ensure the stability of the power grid and minimise blackout risks, the CREA-GEM report said. China suffered a wave of blackouts in September 2021 as a result of coal supply shortages, cutting off thousands of homes and factories. A long drought last year also saw a dramatic drop in hydropower generation and the rationing of electricity.
And to think the top 3 CCP owned companies produce more C02 than the top 20 OECD countries combined.. The per capita argument does not stand up as over 50% of China is poor and approx 25% can’t even afford electricity.
No **** Sherlock. Lefty flogs have denounced anyone who's pointed this out as some sort of nutter. No matter what the West does, China and India is what matters.... good thing there's actually no climate emergency.
To compensate for the carbon emissions, will Australians just have to dig holes in the ground to live in to stop the planet from melting?
