Financial Times: China ramps up coal power in face of emissions efforts
China has 987 coal plants and has now gone into ramping up construction on 121 more. That's more new plants than the US currently has in operation.
US = 86
EU = 149
Last year China raised its coal output by 25.5GW while the rest of the world lowered its coal output by 2.8GW
China's efforts will easily make all anti-emissions efforts in the US and EU into a pittance
But somehow the outrage is directed at ourselves. Narcissistically we believe we are the only answer when we are not even going to be the source of problem
Undermining our own growth when China is unwilling to do so is clearly suicide
Wasted efforts all around
