NDRC aims to increase output capacity by 300 million tons

China plans a massive increase in coal mining, a move that will dramatically reduce its reliance on imports and deal a blow to its near-term climate actions.

The National Development and Reform Commission, the nation’s top economic planner, told officials from major mining regions at a meeting late last week that it wants to boost domestic production capacity by about 300 million tons, according to people familiar with the matter. It also plans to build a 620 million-ton stockpile of the fuel split between government, miners and users.

Such an increase in output would cut the country’s already scant dependence on foreign imports after global prices hit record levels in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The measures also highlight concerns that China’s reliance on fossil fuels remains as entrenched as ever, as it seeks to enhance energy security to limit disruptions to economic growth, regardless of the impact on its climate goals.

And the enviro-whackos remain silent......

This is what happens when you take an environmentally responsible country like ours, and strip it of its ability to produce the really green fuel that is needed to run the world.......   Natural Gas

Instead, add all that extra particulant emissions, and much more CO2, NOx, SO2, etc per BTU across the board.  I just can't fathom the level of stupidity being exhibitied by most of the world.
