It shows that the percentage share of electricity generated from coal in China peaked at ~80% in 2007 and was at ~54% last year.
- noosphr 1mo agoYou do realize that Chinese electricity production quadrupled in that time?
- psolidgold 1mo agoYes - what's your point? It seems like coal wasn't the golden ticket you're making it out to be so they built alternatives.
- noosphr 1mo agoDo you understand what baseload means?
- psolidgold 1mo agoYep and China is leading the world in recent and active construction of traditional hydro (dams) and pumped hydro storage to reduce their reliance on coal for baseload. I'm done with your bad-faith arguments.
- noosphr 1mo agoTheir 30 year plan is to move to nuclear for base load, and they are on track to manage it. The only people who think China is moving to a pre 2020 like western grid are people who don't know the first thing about China.
