Bloomberg Don’t Understand Why China Needs Coal
NOVEMBER 2, 2022
tags: China
By Paul Homewood

 

China is building a vast array of new coal-fired power stations, potentially more than the operating capacity of the US, even though it knows the plants will probably never be fully used.

The puzzle of why the world’s leading installer of clean energy is investing so much in the worst polluting — and increasingly expensive — fossil fuel shows the depth of Beijing’s concern over the global squeeze in energy supplies. But it also reflects planning for a gradual relegation of coal’s role, from prime power source to a widely available but often idle backup to China’s rapidly expanding renewables fleet.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

China wants coal as an energy hedge because it is abundant, affordable, and reliable.

Maybe because of times like now with severe drought that makes all the hydroelectric power from their huge damn unobtanium? In a country that cycles between severe flood and severe drought coal is consistent and China has never and never will give a damn about green energy or the environment.
